Crime:
4 July 2007
Just a quick message to say that we have had
another DISTRACTION BURGLARY, this time in Wraysbury. 3rd July 6.30 p.m. A
man came to the door using the Water Board MO. The elderly women let him
in, to check her water. After a few minutes he asked to use the toilet.
She found him trying to get into the dresser in her bedroom. He then made
off. Please can everyone make contact with all the
vulnerable elderly people who live in their roads. The Water Board is the
most common MO and everyone should be really on their guard if anyone
comes to their door using it. It could though be social services, a car
breakdown, even the police. Please reassure them, for the number of people
that live here, these burglaries are still rare. No-one should get into
their homes unless they know them or have made an appointment. Please make
contact with them and help them to set passwords for any service provider
that needs to come into the house to read meters. It would also really help if they could have the
telephone numbers of a few neighbours that they could call on if they are
worried or concerned by a caller. It worked yesterday when someone was let
in but made off when a neighbour who had been called for help arrived very
quickly. CRIME: COOKHAM: 3/7 Sutton Road Car Park. A witness heard a car
alarm go off then saw a black lad moving away quickly and getting into a
gold coloured hatchback and driving off. Has anyone else seen a gold
hatchback in suspicious circumstances ? The number to call 0845 8 505 505
or of course for complete anonymity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 BOYN VALLEY: 3/7 Boyn Valley Road. Owner of a car caught a lad
trying to remove the wing mirror from his car. He said it was the same as
his own and he needed one. The police were called and he was handed over. WHITE WALTHAM: 2-3/7 Twyford Road. Car left unlocked. Sat Nav
stolen from the glovebox. 2-3/7 Twyford Road. Car opened and searched. The
owner heard a noise at 3 a.m. and looked out and saw a suspicious lad
getting into a car parked nearby and drive off without putting any lights
on. Something to be aware of. If you see anything like that it is an
immediate call to the police ! Shurlock Row: 2-3/7 Binfield Road. Car searched but no damage
caused - nothing stolen. 2-3/7 Black Nissan Patrol stolen BRAY: 2-3/7 Hastings Close. Rear windscreen smashed and
briefcase style bag stolen from the parcel shelf. CENTRAL AREA MAIDENHEAD: 3-4/7 Ray Mill Road West. 2 cars attacked but
nothing stolen. It seems we have late night / early hours
visitors, doing the rounds of our rural areas. Please be aware of this if you live in the
Walthams etc. Keep your eyes open for cars acting suspiciously at those
times - one driving around without lights, I would have thought was a 999
call. That way a car could immediately be dispatched to have a word with
the driver.
