Crime:
12 June 2013
First,
just to let you know that Paula, our
Neighbourhood Administrator,
has been beavering away, creating lovely new Neighbourhood
Pages for TVPs website. They
have new photos of your entire Neighbourhood Team.
These are now completely up to date and online for you to view –
saying that – there will be another change from Monday as the new
permanent Neighbourhood Inspector has just been appointed for Maidenhead
– Insp Mike Darrer.
His picture will go up on Monday.
Our thanks to John Mckee who has been holding the
fort since Insp. Lee Townsend was promoted to Deputy Area
Commander. Just
follow the links below More
spare wheels stolen from under cars.
One in Ascot: 4/6
– 11/6 Tuesday / Tuesday
Priory Road.
The mechanism for an electric gate has been cut, allowing the gates
to be opened manually. The
spare wheel has been removed from under a Range Rover – this is the
third time this year ! We
are having a series of these across the area in the last few weeks - 5 or
6 at Legoland alone and work is being done on CCTV footage of 2 cars being
used to do this. One car has
also been targeted twice – both attempts.
There is a security device that can be fitted, which means the
release mechanism is not under the car, but inside.
They usually use a small battery operated cutter, to slice through
the holding mechanism. After
removing the wheel, they jam the cage back up, so that the owner is not
aware. These can release
later, as the car is driven over speed humps, causing quite a shock.
If you have a spare wheel under your car, can you please check that
it is there ? NEXT
A WARNING
FROM DATCHET. The owner
thought the car was completely safe as she was still in the car park a few
metres away !!! 11/6
Tuesday 12.10 p.m. Car
Park, Horton Road, Datchet. The
owner loaded her car up in the car park after attending an art fair.
She placed her handbag and a painting on the front seat and closed
the door, while she went to speak to a friend – SHE
HAD NOT LOCKED IT ! While
chatting, a grey car pulled into the car park and drove slowly around.
A passenger got out and wandered amongst the cars.
The car then drove out of the car park.
As it passed the owner, the driver shouted – ‘Have you still
got your handbag’ ! When
she got to her car, she found the car door open and the handbag and
contents missing. She looked
around and saw the other man running from the car park and she gave chase,
but lost him near the library. The
police attended immediately and carried out an Area Search’, but no one
was located. We
could all make this mistake – we all now know not to do this ! MAIDENHEAD

Tuesday 11.10 a.m. Highfield
Lane – Distraction Burglary. An
offender knocked on a front door to ask if any structural work needed
doing. The aggrieved recognised him as someone that had done some
work exactly a year ago. He agreed to some work that would cost £200
up front, for materials. The man then asked to use the toilet and
disappeared upstairs. The owner heard the loo flush and he
re-appeared. He was then driven to a cash till, to withdraw the
money. After putting in his pin, the man punched in £250 – the
costs of materials had gone up ! The aggrieved tried to object, but
the man took the money and said he would be back shortly, when he had
purchased what he needed. When he got home, the aggrieved checked
upstairs and found items of jewellery had been stolen.
Many
lessons to be learnt here. The
first – NO-ONE COMES INTO YOUR HOME
UNLESS YOU KNOW THEM, OR THEY HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT.
Second – our NHW motto – WE DO
NOT BUY GOODS AND SERVICES AT THE DOOR.
If anyone of pensionable age needs work done, they should contact
Louise at Repair with Care – her handouts are attached once again.
Please let any elderly – I mean over 55 – neighbours, have a
copy or at least a contact number. This
type of offence need not and should not happen. 11/6

COMMENTS: First
a reminder about calls from PPI sources: Hi
Jeff, I
just had a call on my mobile( caller unknown) with a recorded message
saying they need to speak to me urgently, about my PPI
policy. As
soon as I heard it, I cancelled the call.
I have never had a PPI. In
the past, I have had text's which I have deleted immediately. Just
thought you should know , Another scam!!! Keep
up the good work. Regards
Howard I emailed Howard back to say he must be the only person on the planet, not getting 2 or 3 of these calls a day – let alone the texts and emails ! IF YOU GET ONE – HANG UP / BIN IT ! Scoop
the Poop Day Reminder
to ‘Bag it, Tie it, Bin it’ The
Royal Borough is continuing to promote responsible dog ownership by
supporting National Scoop the Poop
Day on Friday 14 June. To
support the day, the RBWM Community Wardens will be out and about
reminding people to clear up after their dog and to ‘Bag
it, Tie it, Bin it’. They also have supplies of leaflets outlining
the law and how to report irresponsible dog owners. Community
Wardens can issue fixed penalty
notices to anyone they see allowing a dog to foul and failing to
promptly remove the mess. Anyone who refuses to pay the fixed penalty
(currently £52), can be prosecuted and may face a court appearance with a
maximum penalty of £1,000. The
Mayor, Cllr Andrew Jenner,
said: “I fully support this day and anything the council does to
encourage responsible dog ownership. As a father and a dog owner, I know
all too well how important it is to ‘scoop
the poop’. Dog fouling is unpleasant and, at its worst, a potential
health hazard which can cause blindness.” Cllr
Eileen Quick,
cabinet member for leisure and libraries,
said: “National Scoop the Poop
Day is a highly visible way to remind dog owners to ‘Bag it, Tie it
and Bin it’. The day enables the community safety team to continue to
promote responsible dog ownership.” “The
Community Wardens will not hesitate to issue fines to owners who fail to ‘scoop
the poop’. It is not all about enforcement however, which is why we
have produced posters and leaflets to educate people. Community Wardens
carry small supplies of dog poop bags and they will hand these out to
owners, if they need a bag. The
day is not a one-off – we work throughout the year to raise awareness
and I would like to thank all the responsible dog owners who are already
doing their bit to make the Borough cleaner and safer.” Irresponsible
dog owners who do not clear up after their dog can be reported to the
Council on 01628 683800.
