Crime:
21 January 2008
Most
areas had a very quiet weekend. We had another Distraction Burglary in
Knowl Hill using the police officer ID. Fortunately nothing was stolen,
but the aggrieved was only 25 years old. The men are not in police
uniform, but smartly dressed and very well spoken, saying they are from
CID. They flash some form of ID. I have been in conversation with the PEC,
who say they will always verify if a person at your door is in fact a
police officer. THE SOLUTION - If you are in doubt, always ask for their
shoulder number and say you are going to phone the PEC for verification.
The PEC can reassure you immediately - or send a police car. If they
refuse to give you a shoulder number or even have to think about it - you
should immediately be suspicious. Crime: KNOWL
HILL: 18/1
11.20 a.m. Burglary Dwelling. Knowl Hill Common. 2 men went to the house
saying they were police officers. They showed some form of identification.
They said it was in response to a noise complaint. Please be very careful. NO
