Crime: 5 September 2011

Not a bad weekend, but we seem to be targeted for bike thefts - particularly in Windsor. If you see anyone acting suspiciously near bikes please phone it through immediately – particularly if you see a set of bolt croppers being used. These look like a large pair of pliers, used to cut through a chain.

Just before I deal with Crime – I have received an email from one of our members regarding a phone call she thought was suspicious. I will let her tell it:

Hi Jeff,
It may be nothing, but I had bad vibes from a phone call I have just had.  I had a call from a man with a (?) Filipino accent on 087121881191 at just before 9pm this evening.  He claimed to be offering me a Government grant in respect of the property I live in (he specified my address). He hung up (politely), when I told him (not very politely) that it was none of his business, whether I was a tenant.

I see on

that others have also had bad vibes about calls from this number.

I was not aware of this website, but having looked at it, thought it was an address you should keep as a favourite – for just this situation.  Many thanks Stephanie

If you do suffer a crime it must be reported to us. Often we stop check our known offenders and they may well be in possession of items we believe to be stolen. Unless they have been reported to us, we have to hand the items back and cannot press charges. ALSO, all reported crimes, provide us with a pattern. If you don’t report crimes, we have gaps in our analysis and knowledge. Knowing that there had been a theft from in Cookham Road on a particular night, may well have been a piece of the jigsaw we needed. It may also be that the person who did this, has been arrested for a series of offences – but not this one – a missed opportunity.
