Cycle thefts 02 Jun 14:20
Dear Residents, Please read the attached newsletter which contains general crime prevention advice. Of particular note is the recent spate of cycle thefts. The rear yard of Wimbledon police station has in excess of 200 recovered bikes which will go to public auction as their owners cannot be traced. If you own a bike please invest in a quality lock and take the time to make a note of the make, model and frame number. It vastly increases the chances of reuniting you with your bike. I would also again mention the need to check the Identification of any unsolicited tradesmen attending your premises in the light of a recent attempt by two white males aged in their 40's who tried to con their way into an address in Bronson Road SW20 at around 1130 hours on Tuesday 1st June 2010. thankyou, Sergeant Jeff New Dundonald Safer Neighbourhoods Team 0208 721 2450 Dundonald.snt@met.police.uk
