Five sexual offences, including rape, have been reported in the past 24 hours in Milton Keynes

The sexual offences include rape, sexual assault and indecent exposure, say police, who have this morning released details of this morning's daily management meeting.

Other crimes reported since yesterday include two residential burglaries. The first was in Wolverton Road, Stony Stratford and was a daytime break-in, where offenders were disturbed by the elderly resident returning from the shops.

The second was in St. Leger Court at Great Linford, where the offenders attempt to force window to gain entry to property.

There have also been two reports of robbery, which are under investigation by CID, two reports of grievous bodily harm with intent and three of public order offences and actual bodily harm.

Worryingly, there have been 21 'domestic crimes and incidents' recorded. These range from non-crime incidents to allegations of threats to kill, theft, harassment and assaults, say police.

Early turn officers also have started their shift with four missing person investigations. In each case, enquiries are ongoing to locate the missing people.

There were four custody handovers this morning, with detainees held on suspicion of offences ranging from domestic assaults, supplying drugs, grievous bodily harm and theft from motor vehicle.

Meanwhile, officers are dealing with three unauthorised encampments of travellers, all of which require ongoing partnership work between MK Council and neighbourhood teams.

"There are also a number of open jobs for attendance and 39 reported crimes for our Smarter Resolution Team to follow up with victims today," said a police spokesman.

He added: "Remember, these are new offences in addition to ongoing investigations that the teams carry."
