5.    News and Appeals

NOT SURE – DON’T OPEN THE DOOR
Distraction Burglars and Rogue Traders
A distraction Burglar is someone who gains access to your property by distracting or tricking their way in to steal cash or valuables.  This can include claiming to be representing a company or charity to gain entry into homes before stealing items whist the occupants are distracted.
A rogue trader is a cold caller who deliberately overcharges for unsatisfactory goods and /or services. This can include charging for unnecessary work, damaging property deliberately in order to obtain money, leaving work unfinished and intimidating behaviour in order to extort money.

LOCK, STOP, CHAIN and CHECK
When someone calls at your door and offers to do repairs to your home, asks for urgent help, or when someone official knocks on your door, follow these simple steps to help protect yourself and your home from bogus callers.

  • LOCK: Keep your front and back doors locked at all times, even when at home.

  • STOP: Before you answer, stop and think if you are expecting anyone. Before you answer the front door, ensure that no rear or side doors and windows have been left insecure. It may be that the caller is trying to distract you while someone else sneaks in.

  • CHAIN: If you decide to open the door, put the door chain or bar on first. Keep the bar or chain on while you are talking to the person on the doorstep. Some bogus callers call on older and vulnerable people saying they need help urgently. They may ask you to help them outside the house or ask to come in to make a phone call or have a glass of water. Only go to help them if you have someone else with you. Don't worry if you choose not to help it is not rude or unfriendly.

  • CHECK: If someone who looks official calls at your door, always do the following. Ask for and carefully check their identity card, even if they have a prearranged appointment (all genuine callers will carry one). Do they look like the person on the card? Is the name the same one as that on your letter? Close the door while you do this. If you are not expecting them and they have not shown you an identity card, do not let them in until you have checked and double-checked that the caller is genuine. If you are going to ring the company the caller claims to be from, don’t rely on a number provided by them, you could be ringing an accomplice sat in the van outside.  


  • If you think the caller is genuine, but you would rather have a friend or relative with you, ask the caller to rearrange to a time when you are not on your own.  Don’t agree to any work or sign anything on the spot. Do not be pressured into having any work carried out.   Never pay cash up front and never go to the bank or cash point with a trader.

Doorstep crime isn't common, but it can have a long-lasting impact on victims' lives. Remember if you're not sure of a caller, don't open the door – but do give us a ring. You can call us on 101. But please always call 999 in an emergency or if you suspect a crime is in progress.

Fridge Needs A New Home!

“Fridge needs a new home.  We have an under-counter fridge surplus to our needs and are happy to let anyone who wants it have it for free.  It is 50cm wide and fits under the kitchen work surface.

It is fairy old but works fine and would make a good beer / wine fridge for the garage.  Can deliver in the village if necessary.  If you are interested please ring Chris on 319439”

Intelligence is the Key  


Crime intelligence is a key element of the work that the Police do. Many enquiries involve the collation of a wide variety of information in order that a successful prosecution can be achieved. But intelligence gathering is much more than this. Often it is the way by which officers from our Community teams get a full picture of what is happening in their areas, and often involves details of suspicious incidents seen by the public being passed onto us.

Public appeals through the press are routinely made at local level; sometimes at national level for serious offences. They raise the profile of serious incidents in the hope that information can be gathered which will lead to the successful prosecution of an offender. But the need to gather intelligence can be equally important in the day to day policing of our neighbourhoods as well.

A conversation an officer has in the street; an incident log received at the Police Station detailing a suspicious person or vehicle seen; that sighting of an individual who’s moved into the area, all can sometimes provide officers with that extra piece in the jigsaw that they need.

If you get a suspicious individual wandering around; if you see a suspicious vehicle driving slowly around your estate; if you notice something unusual at a house that you think is out of the ordinary, you have two choices: either ignore it, and hope it isn’t anything important, or contact the Police. We’d much prefer that you called us! We’d rather check on something to find it’s in order than not know and later find out that a crime has occurred.

Our officers are out on patrol and routinely stop check people or vehicles. But they can’t be everywhere all the time and your help is essential in helping ensure that we get the intelligence we need.

So please, let us know if you see anything suspicious in your neighbourhood. If you can safely get a registration number of a vehicle or a description of a person, please do so as this all helps build the bigger picture and could help detect or deter a crime.  


Call us on the Non Emergency Number 101 or 999 in an emergency or if a crime is occurring.
