Crime:
18 January 2011
Another request to report anything
suspicious to us please. Tim De Meyer
the Area Commander was at the morning briefing and asked me to put the
message out yet again. We have had an attempted burglary in Sunninghill
– this time by reaching up through a cat flap during the early hours to
reach keys left in the door !! KEYS MUST NOT BE LEFT IN
DOORS !
Can I add to this. We have had 2 burglaries this week during the early
hours, where the house owner has heard the break-in and disturbed the
offender. In one case a large number of items were stolen. In each case
the aggrieved went back to bed and phoned us in the morning ! We must be
contacted immediately – a crime in progress is a 999 call, so that we
can attend, carry out an area search and try and find / arrest the
offender. 4 or 5 hours later that is impossible. That leaves the offender
at large, to burgle again !
If you don’t wish to speak to us, please think about Crimestoppers:
Do you have information on crime but do not want to go to the police ?
Give information anonymously by calling the independent charity Crimestoppers
on 0800 555 111 or go online at www.crimestoppers.uk.org
We are not part of the police.
We do not trace or record your calls
You will not be required to appear in court.
Just tell us what you know, not who you are.
All we want is the intelligence, to hear anything that you have seen that
you feel ‘might’ be suspicious.
There is also the Ringmaster intel line:
ringmasterintelligen@thamesvalley.pnn.police.uk
We have tried to make it as easy as possible.
Some good news:
A Maidenhead man has been remanded in custody charged in connection with a
burglary on New Year’s Eve.

Slough Magistrates’ Court on Friday 14 January charged with burglary and
aggravated vehicle taking. He has been remanded in custody and will appear

Just to let you know – as a result
of the increased crime in this area recently, the police have arranged for
additional patrols. As this area has been targeted, we need all the
intelligence we can muster – your calls are vital to reduce crime in
this area – please call if you see anything suspicious.

a parcel on her doorstep which was to be collected by a neighbour. She

walk up the road trying car door handles and stopping at one car, to force
the lock. When they saw they had been seen, they got into a white car and
drove off. Thieves do not like to be
seen. One of the real benefits of Neighbourhood Watch is being observant,
living in a road where people are out and about at different times –
protecting their neighbours, who may be out or at work. If you see
anything suspicious, go and watch. Let the person know you have seen them
and could give a really good description if – a crime occurs. Just go
into your front garden and do some pruning or deadheading, until they have
gone – it won’t take long – then phone us immediately. We have very
few persistent offenders and even a patchy description, could identify
someone we know and are interested in. Knowing where they are at all times
during the day is vital to our intelligence teams, who are always planning
operations and increased patrols.
