Burglary Patrols
The team have been concentrating their burglary patrols in the Graham Road and Grove Road areas during the last few weeks following a burglary in each area during the last month. Residents are asked to be vigilant and report any suspicious behavior.
Burglaries often increase in the run up to Christmas. Your Safer Neighbourhood Team will be carrying out a Home Security Scheme highlighting any vulnerable premises and giving advice on how to protect your home.
Please take time to review your home security including boundary fencing, particularly from rear and side alleyways.
Operation Bumblebee has just been re-launched to help tackle burglary across London. It encourages residents to “think like a burglar”. Operation Bumblebee advice can be found at:
http://www.met.police.uk/crimeprevention/burglary.htm
Alternatively please contact your local Safer Neighbourhood Team (number above) or the Crime Prevention Officer, PC Greg Hunt on 020 8649 3245. Your SNT will be happy to carry out a home security survey for you and give you advice accordingly.
Bogus Callers
We have recently received reports that two females have been knocking on doors in your area, sometimes in the middle of the night. They have provided various sob stories or claimed to be collecting for a sick neighbour. Our advice is not to let them in and not to give money to people unless you know them or they are collecting for a reputable charity.
We have increased patrols in the area. If you are contacted by one of these women or anyone else you have suspicions about, you can call us on the numbers above.
As always, please urge your neighbours, colleagues and friends to join up to the CommunitySafe site.
To report Crime please remember to call 999 if there is a crime happening ‘now’ or the new non-emergency number 0300 123 1212 if it has already happened.
Best Wishes from your new Sergeant
Sgt. Juliet Sowter
