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. Please again report to local team on the details below. If urgent dial 999 We would welcome your call about issues that affect you on the ward. ********************************************************** Merton Police are re-launching Met Tracks on Thursday the 25th March 2010 at The Hub, Tooting and Mitcham FC, Bishopsford Road, Morden between 4pm and 5.30pm. This is a training scheme aimed at 10 - 17 year olds offering free training with an international athlete in any track or field event. It will run each week and is a great opportunity to keep fit and make new friends. If you are interested in getting your children involved, just turn up and give it a go. kind regards Sgt Danny Smith PS 21VW WimbledonPark.snt@met.police.uk 0208 721 2452
