Dear residents, Colliers Wood SNT is undergoing a staff change in the near future. APS Dave Beasley is returning to response team, leaving the SNT to be lead by Sergeant Tony Richardson who joins Colliers Wood from response team in Merton. Sergeant Richardson has over 20 year’s experience, working in both Surrey Police and the Met. He has worked response policing as well as Traffic and Safer Neighbourhoods in Surrey Police and is part of the Wimbledon Motorcycle Team so is positioned well to continue the team’s good work. The team continue to focus on burglary, theft from motor vehicle and theft of pedal cycle as priorities. Please remember crime tends to rise around this time of year in the run up to Christmas with residents having higher value items in their house. Simple crime prevention techniques such as using timer switches on lights and leaving radios on while your out can prevent you being a victim of crime. Leave nothing on show in your vehicle such as sat navs and iPods, small electrical items and favourites among criminals breaking into vehicles. If you are locking up you bike on public view you should use an insurance approved lock and take removable parts with you. Locks should be typically worth 10% of the value of the bike, the more locks the better. We still have some posters left for households to display who do not want trick or treaters calling at the door. If you or anyone you know would be interested in these please let us know and we’ll drop a poster round to you. Regards Colliers Wood SNT 0208 721 2743 Collierswood.snt@met.police.uk
