These messages are not a complete list of crimes in the Borough but are intended to make Members aware of any current trends relating to crime in their particular Ward. The Metropolitan Police do not release details of all crimes to Neighbourhood Watch as there may be sensitive or ongoing investigations and the details therefore are not released into the public domain until the investigation reaches the court system. Therefore this document is not for publication in the press. Item

from Steve Selby, Community Safety Unit A reminder that the council operates a free graffiti removal service for any site which is visible from the public highway or inside communal housing areas. Call (020) 8871 7049, text 07797 805456 or email graffiti@wandsworth.gov.uk and they will do their best to remove it as soon as possible. One of our readers has asked what they can do to strengthen their doors after reading about a recent burglary where the hinges were broken. One easily fitted and useful option would be to fit hinge bolts. These are steel rods which are inserted into the hinge side of the door; when the door is closed they go into a hole in the door frame which is fitted with a metal plate. This helps to spread the load over a larger area if the door is subjected to force. They are particularly useful for outward opening doors, as they prevent the door being opened by removing the hinge pins. Hinge bolts are cheap and fairly easy to fit, and should be available in most DIY stores. Click

from Steve Selby, Community Safety Unit You will notice that there are several burglaries where the thief got in through an open window. Obviously, with this exceptionally hot weather, you will want as many windows open as possible, but please take care when leaving the house, even for a short time, as the average burglary is over in a matter of a few minutes. Again, at night, please ensure that any accessible windows are secured if at all possible. There are window locks on the market which enable you to lock a window partially open, at least, although obviously not fully open. Please ensure that any valuables, such as laptops and cameras, are out of reach of all windows. Also take care when leaving your car unattended. It is all to easy to forget that you have left the windows open when parking; I have done it myself. There have been re more and more thefts of satellite navigation systems; if you have one, remove both the unit and the holder when leaving the car unattended, if possible, so that you don't give a clue to the thief that there may be a system hidden in the boot. Regrettably, there have been more distraction burglaries reported. A number of the thefts in neighbouring boroughs have been by a man posing as a water board official, dressed each time in a vertically striped blue and white shirt. We have al;so had people posing as police officers and council officials. If you are not absolutely sure who you are letting in to your house, always ask for identifcation, check it carefully, and if not completely certain, refuse them entry and ask them to call back by appointment. You can then confirm their identity and also arrange for a friend or relative to be there when they return. Click

added 16th July 2006 The files attached below have reports on burglary and street crime (note that car crimes are not included). Message
from Steve Selby, Community Safety Unit The attached notice from the police concerns distraction burglaries in the borough. It looks as if the hot weather is going to continue for some time, so be very careful when leaving the house empty. Every year, we get an increase in the number of burglaries where the thief enters through a window left open while the occupants are out. We also get some where the burglar enters at night, so please be extra careful, especially with ground floor or other accessible windows. Click

Now that Furzedown Ward has its full complement of Officers, 1 PS, 2 PC's, and 3 PCSO's this will be the last open Furzedown SNT Meeting, and during this meeting we will be looking for volunteers to become part of a Ward Panel. The Ward Panel should be made up of local people whose role is to assess the local concerns, identified through community engagement and analysis, and establish priorities for policing in the Safer Neighbourhood area. The panel gives direction and local advice to the Safer Neighbourhoods team, although some priorities will require partners to take the lead. The panel should be made up of local people who live and/or work in the area or are involved in charitable work or business and have a close connection with the area. These people could be identified through consultation activities carried out on the ward i.e. public meetings, ‘have a say events’ or questionnaires. The Ward Panel will meet bi monthly as with the past meetings, and we require 10 - 12 people. In order to ensure that other Furzedown residents are also able to meet with their SNT team, and discuss local concerns, we will be replacing the 'open' ward meetings with Open Days and other public meetings which will be held at various venues across the ward. If anyone would like to volunteer to become a ward panel member, please let me know at the next Ward Meeting on the 19th. Any thoughts or concerns, please let me know Keeley

from Steve Selby, Community Safety Unit BEWARE. By signing a form and inviting a trader to call to provide a quote for any work that may be required you will be losing your right to cancel within seven days any work you later agree to. REMEMBER. Whenever you are approached by any person offering to carry out repairs to your property Think before you agree to any repairs. Always ask yourself: would you have had these repairs even if a trader had not called? If the answer is no, you need to think very carefully about your decision:
If the services cost more than £35 and you did not invite the trader to call then you generally have seven days to change your mind and cancel the contract. By law the trader must give you a written notice detailing your rights to cancel the contract. Failure to do this is a criminal offence. If the trader refuses to leave when asked, call the police, at Tooting Police Station 020 8247 8021. Further

added 10th June 2006 The files attached below have reports on burglary and street crime (note that car crimes are not included). Message from Steve Selby, Community Safety Unit There have been a number of thefts of cycles this month from with houses and blocks of flats. Please ensure that you lock your bike securely, wherever you leave it. Please don't forget there is still a knife amnesty. There have been several robberies involving the use of knives recently, so the more knives that can be removed from circulation, the better. Most police stations have a bin where you can drop the knife, with no questions asked Click

added 30th April 2006 The files attached below have reports on burglary and street crime (note that car crimes are not included). Message
from Steve Selby, Community Safety Unit On a least two occasions recently a man posing as a water board official has tried to get into flats at Lockyer House, The Platt, SW15. Luckily he was refused entry both times. It is believed he made off in a white Bedford van with blue stickers on the sides and with a yellow flashing light on the roof. If you have any information please pass it to your local police, contact details in the briefing. Another worrying incident also happened in Putney, where two people, an man and a woman, posed as police officers and tried to gain entry. They were wearing dark trousers and white shirts and one had some form of identification. Again, they were refused entry, and the lady kept her door chain on. They were offering the victim a green and white pot for the fridge, and tried to persuade the victim to let them in. The pot in the fridge is a genuine scheme, supported by this unit, where your contact details are kept in the fridge in case of emergencies. They are available from doctor's surgeries and similar places and some co-ordinators also have been given supplies to distribute. However, there should be no need for anyone to enter. Click

from Steve Selby, Community Safety Unit www.immobilise.com is a web site, supported by the police, the mobile phone industry and Transport for London, where you can register items of property that might get stolen while you are out and about. The service is free, and covers such items as mobile phones, laptop computers, bicycles, MP3 players and sattelite navigation systems. In the event of an item being stolen, you can retrieve a full description from the web site, and also pass the information on to the police stolen property database. This can also help with insurance claims. Also on the site you will find numbers and directions on how to contact your mobile phone company, in order to block a stolen phone and stop it from being used by the thief. An allied site, www.checkmend.org allows access to the database via the internet or mobile phone, so that you can check if an item offered for sale has been reported. This site does charge a fee, currently £1.50 - £2.99 Click
