Criminal Activity March 2007

Please be vigilant. Recently, there has been an upsurge in criminal activity. Reported crimes include items stolen from cars in Ashley Green; a satnav stolen from a car in Abbeyfields: a bogus caller tricking his way into a house in Old Church Road by purporting to be visiting a neighbour who was out and asking to wait inside; and an unlicensed door-to-door salesman offering cheap vodka.

Remember to

  • lock your car even when parked on your drive,

  • remove all evidence of your satnav from the car when it is unattended, including the window sticker,

  • ask for indentification from anyone wanting to come into your house:bogus callers always have a very plausible story.

  • inform the police of anyone selling alcohol door-to-door, and of anyone selling door-to-door without a pedlar's licence.
