Please take note of these recent local issues and share with family, friends and neighbours. Bogus callers - There have reports of a female preying on the vulnerable and elderly purporting to be from social services then gaining entry to premises and stealing property. The majority of these offences have occurred in the Morden area, let’s not be complacent. Please check for ID of all callers and check on your neighbours to ensure they do not fall victim to crime, report all suspicious persons to police. ********************************************************** Believed medicine scam-Leaflets are being distributed through letterboxes from a charity requesting unwanted medicines, claiming they can be sent to third world countries. The flyer is bright yellow with black writing. It indicates that members of the public should place any unused/unneeded medicines in a plastic bag and leave it on their doorstep on an allocated day. This is not believed to be a legitimate agency and there are serious safety issues with medicines being left on doorsteps where they may be accessed by children. We would advise that any such medicines are returned to a dispensing chemist. Again, please report to your Village Safer Neighbourhood Team on the details below. If urgent dial 999.
