Police Update

At around 2am on the morning of Sunday 22 June 2008 three females were walking home along Creeting Road passed the new balancing pond. As they did so a dark blue Ford Mondeo car drove passed them in the same direction and the male appeared to slow down and lean across to look at them. The male then turned around in the mouth of Cormorant Drive, approached the females and asked whether they would like a lift, which they politely declined. He then drove away but again turned around the mouth of Harrier Way and returned pulling up along side the females. He then asked if they were drunk. They hurried away at this point and saw that the car lingered around a little longer and again turned around before heading off in the direction of Stowupland.

The females can only say that the registration had a prefix of W and contained 8 or B and 0 or O and a J.

If you have any information concerning this incident then please let either myself or Jon Eaves know by contacting us on the number below.

Many thanks,

Identification and Security Marking of Personal Property

During a recent meeting with our Safer Neighbourhood Team Officer PC Jon Eaves, he highlighted a problem, i.e. The proof of ownership of stolen items recovered from an offender or premises.

In some instances the lack of definitive proof can lead to the offender not being able to be arrested or charged.

He has asked if through the web-site we could prompt residents to take time to make a note of serial numbers or mark with an ultra violet pen, or both , items which you would consider valuable or ‘ Nickable’. Examples being TV’s, Videos, PC’s, Mobiles, Bicycles, Items in sheds etc etc. You may even consider an inventory of certain possessions.

Security marking of valuables, has two main important benefits; firstly, in the event that your marked property is stolen and later recovered by police, it can be positively identified and returned to you.

Marked property also provides good evidence to link thief/burgler to the crime and helps police to secure a conviction.

In addition, keeping an inventory of marked items makes any insurance claims that you may need to make in the aftermath of a theft or burglary easier to process and more professional in the eyes of the insurers

Ultra violet marking pens can be bought for about a £1 or less, this, plus the time taken to record a serial number may be a small effort for the return of something you value

Jon Eaves would like to thank all residents who are prepared to take their time to do this
