House Burglary PCSOs Tom Clargo, Nicola Glackin and Michelle Cooper have walked many miles across the ward. While passing buildings they look for insecurities. During the 3 months measuring 25/10/09 to 25/01/10, 80 premises were found by them to be vulnerable and the owners were contacted about improving security. During this time 9 house burglaries and 1 attempted burglary were reported. This compares to the same period for the year before where 16 house burglaries and 2 attempted burglaries were reported. This is a drop of 43% in house burglary. If you would like to speak to us about your home security then please contact us using one of the methods below. All the PCSOs are trained in providing security advice and are more than happy to arrange a time to visit. Theft from Vehicles I’m pleased to report a sharp increase in the take up of tamper proof number plate screws with approximately 40 sets being delivered to households. We still have more to give out so please contact us if you would like some. They are FREE. We have even fitted them to some of the vehicles for our more senior residents. So far there have been no number plate thefts in February. There has been other vehicle crime where unattended vehicles were left unlocked or had property on show. Please don’t give the opportunist passing thief the chance they are looking for. These are our ward priorities for crime. Following contact from residents and other community members we are looking into reports of dangerous parking, dog fouling on pavements, underage drinking, pupil safety after school, noisy neighbours and other types of neighbour disputes to name but a few. If you have any concerns in your area please contact us at westbarnes.snt@met.police.uk or on 0208 721 2454. The team are on duty this weekend (20th and 21st Feb).
