BOGUS CALLER & VEHICLE CRIME Dear residents, On Tuesday 24th August 2010 between 1600 - 1700 hrs, a male posing as a British Gas employee attended an address on Chester Row, stating that he was there to take a meter reading. Although nothing from the premises was taken, the occupier believed the male to be suspicious, and later called British Gas who confirmed they did not have any engineers in the area on that day. The male was described as a white male approximately 45-50 years of age, brown hair with specs of grey, wearing a light grey jumper with the British Gas logo on the front, he was also carrying what appeared to be a meter reader, and had a form of photo identification. On the same day, the same resident had items stolen from his car which was parked on Chester Row, the vehicle had no damage and it was unclear how the suspect gained entry to the vehicle. We cannot confirm if these incidents were linked. Theft from motor vehicle has risen in this area, please be aware and never leave items on display in your vehicle, if possible never leave valuable items in the boot of your car. On Wednesday of this week I patrolled the whole of Chester row and listed 5 vehicles that had valuables on display. Please do not become a victim ! ! ! Many thanks Lorraine O’hara

Dear Members, This email is to raise awareness in regards to thefts of pedal cycles which have been occurring in the Raynes Park Ward. There have been 4 incidents in the past 2 weeks, where high valued pedal cycles have been removed from secure locations. In each case, the cycles have been stolen either overnight, or whilst residents have been on holiday. Thefts have been from locked sheds in rear gardens; side gates have been similarly locked. Owners have left their cycles in a secure location and padlocks on shed doors have been tampered with i.e. picked or removed and the suspects have then continued to lift the cycles and frames over fences and locked gates as high as 6 foot, which indicates to us that two or more suspects are working together, possibly having noticed owners cycling their expensive bikes in the area. The offences have occurred in Melbury Gardens, Cambridge Road and Spencer Road - Roads which are close in proximity of each other. At these locations high valued and specialised cycles have been taken, accumulating to a value of £17,600 The following bullet points are tips on how to secure your pedal cycles as best you can: • If owners keep their cycles in a garden shed overnight (which one of the above victims has done) we cannot stress the importance surrounding security enough. Owners should securely padlock cycles and if the bikes are left in sheds overnight - not only fit the cycles with a cycle lock but also use an appropriate padlock or door lock on the shed. Invest in quality locks and use them. Look for the 'secured by design' quality mark. As a general guide look to spend about a tenth of the value of your cycle on locks to secure it. (ie: secure a £1000 cycle with £100 worth of locks). • Owners can fit an opaque glass pane in shed windows to reduce visibility into the sheds, so that suspects cannot identify high value cycles or property kept in the shed. • Secure your cycle to an immovable object. Consider installing a floor or wall mounted anchor lock for extra security at home. Remember that thieves can remove drainpipes and lift cycles off signposts. • Immobilise - Immobilise.com allows you to create a free private and secure portfolio of all your personal property. If it is then lost or stolen you can use Immobilise.com to tell law enforcement agencies, your insurer, and the second-hand trade to assist in recovering your property and catch criminals. Record and register your bike:
• Secure removable parts. Lock both wheels and the frame together. Take smaller parts and accessories with you, for example, lights, pumps and quick-release saddles. • Prevent intruders getting into the back and sides of your home by installing strong fencing or gates. Check for weak spots where a thief could get into your garden, eg a low or sagging fence, or a back gate with a weak or no lock. Consider fixing trellis to the fence to make entry and exit points much more difficult for thieves. If your cycle is not of high value do not think that your bike is not at risk. The team are often out letting home owners know that their cycles are left unsecured in plain sight of prying eyes. Please secure all your cycles and do not hesitate to contact the team to get your cycle security marked for free. The team is also available on appointment to come down to carry out a security assessment on your current storage location of your cycles and if needs be advise you further. Thank you for reading Sergeant Dan Wheatley

Cricket Green Ward update 29/08/2010 PRIORITY - Burglary Operation Lockdown continues on five wards on the borough. Cricket Green, Lavender Fields, Abbey, Colliers Wood and Figges Marsh were identified as those that would benefit most from additional resources for the duration of this three month period. The burglary initiative will employ a range of tactics to disrupt burglary, gain intelligence and arrest and convict offenders across the Borough. Whilst the number of burglary offences across the Borough remain relatively low, there has been a recent rise in the number of opportunist burglaries where entry has been gained through open windows and unlocked doors. The number of offences on Cricket Green ward has decreased as a result of recent arrests of burglars. This work will continue into October. PRIORITY - Theft from motor vehicle We are continuing with our drop in surgery at the Canons Leisure Centre on Madeira Road. The next one is on the 8th of September at 1900hrs. Feel free to drop in for advice or to speak to us about any other issues. PRIORITY - Anti-social behaviour Phipps Bridge Estate The team recently conducted a search warrant of an address in Albury Court and seized a pitbull type dog which was being kept illegally. The status dogs unit are dealing with the matter and the dog is currently in kennels. We will continue to identify and deal with any dogs that are being kept illegally. We are increasing patrols in stairwells and passageways across the ward as a result of increasing concerns about youths congregating and have obtained access keys to provide us with easier access to these areas. The safer transport team have been conducting screening arch operations around the tram stops and this type of activity will be continuing to deter criminals from carrying weapons. Searches for weapons are being conducted across the estate to try and identify any concealed items. These will continue in the future. MITCHAM FAIR The team organised and were involved in the policing of Mitcham Status Fair again this year. There was no reported crime at the fair and no disorder. The screening arches were used to deter people from attending with weapons and this seemed to work again. We aimed to provide a safe and family friendly location for this event and succeeded. IMMOBILISE During the course of our duties police regular recover property that we are unable to identify the owner. Even though we strongly suspect this property is stolen, without being able to identify the owner police are unable to prosecute the offenders or return the property to the rightful owners. Immobilize is the world's largest FREE register of possession ownership details forms a very effective tool in helping to reduce crime and repatriate recovered personal property to its rightful owners.
This online checking service is used by all UK Police forces to trace owners of lost and stolen property. In addition Immobilize is checked daily by a huge range of recovery agencies and lost property offices including the Transport for London Lost Property Office. I have attached the Immobilize web-site so that you can have a look for yourself, hopefully register, and record details of your property. Then if your property is lost or stolen, and comes into our possession, we can return it to you. http://www.immobilise.com/index.php Sergeant Dan Hutchings

Good News Story: Youth Ward Panel, partner with Police to tackle bullying, robbery and an underlying fear of crime. Concerns of students who attend a local youth ward panel in Streatham's Bishop Thomas Grant School have led to a large problem solving operation being put into place by local police. Streatham Wells Safer Neighborhoods Team have worked in partnership with BTG school, Arriva bus company, and the local councilor and ward panel during the project. All are united in finding solutions for the problems surrounding these young people. Students had been feeling at risk of robbery and vulnerable to bullies whilst traveling home from school on their bus routes. Research by Police analysts revealed that numerous robberies had happened over the past 6 months. Ongoing efforts to deal with this has already provided a sense of progress and reassurance to both students, and others agencies involved in this initiative, and these efforts continue! The commitment of the police will involve regular scheduled deployments to cover the affected bus routes during the problem times, and increasing partnership with other agencies involved. Consequently a clear message will be sent to those who were contemplating intimidation and crime. Police have initiated a problem solving process, which reveals in greater detail the multiple ideas and approaches the police and partners are using to deal with this issue. Sergeant Steve Jones commented “Its really important that the youth of the area realise that by their involvement in the youth ward panel, changes have been made to policing in Lambeth, we are now able to target the issues that they face specifically and proactively. Their positive contributions and ideas resulted in this taking place!”. |

Dear residents, CRIME FIGURES
Robberies: 2
Burglaries seem to have gone up slightly, but robberies reduced. Theft of motorvehicles has climbed (mainly motorcycles / scooters) so please make sure your vehicles are secure. Theft from motorvehicles has reduced. Flytipping is still on the up. Our hotspot area at the moment is the alleyway between the Tooting end of Acre and Boundary Road. One resident in Acre Road has been issued an on-the-spot Police fine of £50 for dumping wood in the alley, whilst the details of another Acre Road resident has been passed to Merton Borough Council for enforcement as their details were found in bags of rubbish. Operation Lockdown, a three month burglary initiative which started last month has been successful in reducing overall residential burglaries. Meet the Street is a new initiative whereby over the next few years, your Safer Neighbourhoods Team will knock on every door on the ward and introduce themselves. This will give you the opportunity to air any issues you have. You will also be given a leaflet with the Teams contact details, as well as a list of other useful contacts. Colliers Wood are intending to start this next week. ******************************************************
As always, your Safer Neighbourhoods Team patrol on foot, pedal cycle and motorcycle. Please feel free to stop and speak to them concerning any issues. Ps 91VW Tony Richardson
