e-Cops: Weekly Update 15-MAR-2012

Cambridgeshire Constabulary

 

We have recorded a low number of crimes this week in the North of the City however there are still a few things we would like to flag up.

LEAD/COPPER THEFT
We have had a few thefts of copper in different areas across the North this week. They seem to be targeting properties which are carrying out building work. Offenders will look for any signs of work currently going on at the property such as scaffolding, a skip or a large van parked outside. They will then proceed to check the front or back garden for anything of value, mainly stripped copper or lead.

If your house is currently in the process of building work then we ask you to please make sure that anything you wish to hold on to stays locked away or out of sight.

Should you see anything suspicious the main things to note would be the vehicle index number, vehicle make/model/colour and a description of the driver. Your help would be very much appreciated.

MITCHAMS CORNER
We have also received some concerns regarding the street drinkers on Mitchams Corner. As a team we will continue to provide a strong presence and will quickly act upon any anti-social behaviour in the area.

OTHER INFO/ADVICE
As we come to this time of year it is worth mentioning the importance of making sure your property is locked and secure every time you leave, even if it is for a few minutes.

As the weather improves people will start to leave windows and doors open. When the occupants leave the house they forget this and are met with a shock when they return. Please make sure that everything is locked and secure including back gates, garages, sheds etc and that no valuables are on display through the windows.

Many thanks for all your help
