Crime: 24 June 2011
A good end to the week. Please do not make simple mistakes with your security. Going to bed and forgetting to lock up at night is simply asking for trouble. Please make it as hard as possible for a thief to steal your property. They want an easy, quick crime. Walking in rather than breaking in makes their lives so much easier - and they leave much less evidence of their presence for us to follow up. A broken as opposed to a forced window can be a particular MO of a known offender, a forced window means it was not X, Y or B, who smash windows. The harder it is the more of a trail they leave.
I
went to a really good and productive NHW meeting last night in Bexley
Street Windsor. Jacqui and Sandra, are doing a brilliant job
organising events, projects and writing newsletters - I circulated
Sandra's newsletter last week, as an excellent example of the genre. They
do need the help - just as every co-ordinator out there will tell you - of
other members of the scheme, to make sure it is as effective as possible.
We - more quiet members of schemes - do take a back seat and leave it to
them, taking it for granted that one or two people / a small team - there
were 3 last night, will spend their valuable time looking after the rest
of us. We rely on their drive and commitment. Unfortunately, if we
continue to hold back and leave everything to them; they will eventually
walk away. We all need to be involved in making our own streets a better
place to live - work and play. People like Jacqui and Sandra are happy to
come forward, give their time and take a lead. BUT, they need the rest of
us to come forward when asked for help !!! Here endeth the lesson.
CRIME:
BISHAM, COOKHAM, HURLEY, THE WALTHAMS, LITTLEWICK GREEN & KNOWL HILL:
22/6 – 23/6 Wednesday 9.15 p.m. / Thursday 8.30 a.m. Harding’s
Green, Cookham. Garage break – nothing stolen.
BOYN HILL, COX GREEN & WOODLANDS PARK:
16/6 – 23/6 Barn Drive, Cox Green. A substance has been
poured over the grass in someone’s garden killing it.
RIVERSIDE & BELMONT:
23/6 Thursday 3.30 p.m. / 10.40 p.m. Cookham Road.
Burglary. It is believed the thief entered through rear garden by climbing
onto garage roof, dropping into the garden – attempt to jemmy rear
kitchen window, thief then forced UPVC kitchen door – expensive
jewellery stolen. Whenever I hear jewellery stolen from a master
bedroom…..You know the message. No jewellery left in jewellery boxes on
dressing tables, nor in the bedside cabinets. It must always be hidden,
where it would take a thief more than 5 minutes to find. You know your
house best, where that would be – but you must remember where you have
hidden it. Once it is gone – its gone. What
often causes more upset than expensive jewellery, which is generally
covered by Insurance, is the small sentimental items of little monetary,
but enormous family value.
INNER MAIDENHEAD:
No crime to report.
OLDFIELD & BRAY:
No crime to report.
PINKNEYS GREEN & FURZE PLATT:
23/6 Thursday Thicket Meadows, Newlands Drive. A witness
saw a group of lads trying to set shrubs alight. As we all know from
recent experience, this is a very dangerous thing to do. If you know who
those kids were, we would be interested. The Fire service run all sorts of
courses, for kids who have a fascination for fire.
