Crime: 10 June 2011

Serious Acquisitive Crime is well down on last year. We have had an internal re-organisation now that we are a standalone Local Police Area (LPA) and have created a local CID and Violent Crime Team. They have been working brilliantly since they were set up, taking on and investigating crimes.

We though need to do our bit to assist them – phoning through anything suspicious – if something draws your attention – it is suspicious. Rely on your instincts. If you do not feel it sufficient for the PEC on 0845 8 505 505, email it through to me on the Ringmaster intel line:
ringmasterintelligen@thamesvalley.pnn.police.uk

AND of course JUST IN CASE ! if you have a mobile phone with a camera – please remember to use it. Inspector Pete Dalton recommends photos of any callers to your door.

Just a reminder about an incident which took place yesterday. A man walked into an office and confused the person behind the desk, with some papers which they laid out over her desk. After talking for a few minutes, they gattered all the papers up – together with a mobile phone which had been laying on the desk ! This is a common summer scam in the town centres. A tourist comes up with a map which they lay on the table covering mobile phones. They ask for directions then gather the map – and phone back up and walk away ! This man is described as possibly Easterne European from his accent about 19 / 20 years old, 5’5’’, slight build, short dark hair in a fluorescent green T shirt and jeans. Watch your mobile and don’t leave it on display on a table while having a coffee in public view. If this type of thing – there may be many forms of the scam, but it always includes paper covering the phone – you have been warned.
