Please beware of 2 current activities occurring just over our Borough boundary in Whitton: A man in a grey hoodie, on a bicycle, asking people for money to visit a sick relative; and someone removing all correspondence from people’s recycling boxes (so be sure to remove all personal information from paper waste before putting it out). If you encounter either of these things, please report it to the Police (999 if you see it happening, 101 otherwise).
**********************************************************
Increasing crime of the moment is the theft of mopeds/scooters/motor-cycles and their use in snatch thefts (mobile phones, handbags, jewellery etc.). Please don’t make it easy for the criminals: lock away or padlock your P2W (powered 2-Wheeler as the Police call them) when not in use, and don’t have your valuable property in an easily snatchable position.
