This gives us the power to disperse groups causing Anti social behavior for up to 24hours. If they do not leave when instructed to or return within the specified time they can be arrested. This is now effective until 9th December 2010. MITCHAM CARNIVAL We will be at this years Carnival on Saturday 12th June. We have a vintage vehicle in the procession and will be sharing a stand with Neighbourhood Watch. Come down and see us. We will be promoting “Drive Out Vehicle Crime” Come and have a chat with us. We can provide a property marking service for those living within the Borough that may well have received property such as sat navs that may well be used and left in vehicles. We also have various motor vehicle crime prevention items, such as cloths to wipe away Sat Nav marks and “Don’t Bother” stickers and reminder air fresheners. ENFORCEMENT DAY Figges Marsh SNT teamed up with Safer Merton on the Marsh to tackle the problems of littering and dog fouling. The campaign “Bin it don’t sling it !” was promoted with the message that you could be fined £75 if you drop litter. We collected a large number of cans and bottles along with other items of rubbish with the help of a couple of very welcome volunteers. They offered to help when we explained why we were there. A big thank you to them. We will be revisiting in July in the evenings when most of the litter is being left. As always, please urge your neighbours, colleagues and friends to join up to the CommunitySafe site. To report Crime please remember to call 999 if there is a crime happening ‘now’ or the non-emergency number 0300 123 1212 if it has already happened. Best Wishes from your Sergeant Sgt. Juliet Sowter
