Crime: 10 May 2011
A
REALLY GOOD 24 HOURS !
Michelle one of our
scene investigators visited a gentleman in Windsor yesterday and this is
her report !!!
Just to make you aware that suspicious callers are on the prowl again in
the Windsor area targeting elderly residents. This incident involved an
elderly man who left his front door ajar for the home help. At around 3
p.m. on 4th May. A man walked in, saying he had come to repair the roof.
He said he was the odd job man and that it would cost £14-£15. The owner
said that the Housing Association takes care of all the repairs. The man
then asked if he could use the toilet & the owner let him. Thankfully,
the man then left without taking anything, but the owner said he was
very pushy and getting quite aggressive.
Description: White, weathered complexion, 50s, medium build, 5’6’’ /
7’’, dark brown straight hair, no facial hair, no tattoos, no
jewellery, not carrying anything, London accent. He was wearing a shirt
and trousers ( colours unknown). No car / van was seen.
We have a continual problem with elderly or vulnerable people leaving the
front door ajar for home helps, carers or district nurses. This increases
their vulnerability. If you know anyone in this situation please let your
PCSO or me know. Through funding we obtained under Safe as Houses, we can
have a key safe fitted somewhere near their front door – free of charge
if they are elderly or vulnerable. Caring services and neighbours would
then be given the number to come and go.
