Dear members,

 

We hope that you all a had good Christmas and New Year. 

 

Crime News

 

We are pleased to report that over the Christmas period there were very few burglaries or theft of pedal cycles. However there were a few thefts from Motor vehicle.  Most of these have occurred at Goals Football off the A3. However continued vigilance is needed making sure that vehicles are left secure and there are no items left in the vehicle.  

 

There have also been a few assaults in the Raynes Park town centre but these are mainly between people who are known to each other. If you do see anything suspicious please contact police.

 

Crime prevention

 

On Tuesday 20th December the team had a bike initiative outside Starbucks.  We gave out property marking kits with information about how to secure your bike and register with Immobilise. 

 

Immobilise is a national database where you enter the details of you property. This information is available to police who search the database to identify stolen property.  This aids us bringing people to court.   If you go on to www.immobilise.com you can register your property.

 

So please make a note of those all important serial numbers.

 -          Phones have an IMEI number.  If you put *#06# in the phone this will give you a           16 digit number which will start with a 35 or 36 unless it is an iphone and then it     starts with 01. Failing that if you still have the box there is a label on the side             with a bar code on it and the IMEI number can be found there. 

 -          The bike has a frame number.  If you turn the bike upside down you will find this            number on the underside of the bike where the pedals attach to the frame. 

 -          All other property normally has the serial number on a plate at the back or         underneath of the item.

Just to remind you that there will be a drop in Surgery run by PCSO Patel on Tuesday 17th January 2012 between 2.30pm and 4pm.  Please come along if you have anything you want to ask or just pop in for a chat, she would love to see you.  You could also book a crime prevention survey where one of the team will come and highlight areas of security weaknesses on your property and offer advice on how to make your property more secure.
