CRIME

Please note that although there is the perception of an increase in crime, it is probable that more crimes are being reported through social media, etc.

Burglaries and Scams
Two men knocked on a door off Slades Hill, and when the door was opened they rushed in and demanded money from the resident.

Four men attempted a burglary on The Ridgeway but ran off after triggering an alarm.
There was also an attempted burglary near the Jolly Farmer public house.

Two men knocked on a door in Cheyne Walk and told the resident they have a loose roof tile and they could fix it for £20. They put up a ladder, climbed on to the roof, then informed the resident there were several tiles requiring fixing/replacing at a cost of £450. The resident told them she would have to consult per partner, and the men have not returned.

Vehicle Crime
Between 8th and 12th February a catalytic converter was stolen from a Toyota Prius parked at Tower Point in Sydney Road.
