04 Nov Local Crime Update 31/10/2024

Dear Residents

Please find below the crime record for the period from 16 Oct to 31 Oct ‘24.

Good to see the overall crime record’s very low. Re mobile phone snatches I‘d strongly advise you not to carry your phone in your hand while walking along the street.  If you need to use your phone in the street, stop in a well-lit area and keep an eye on those around you while using your phone.

On the community engagement it was good to see a number of you at last week’s Panel meeting. We held a Cuppa With A Copper session on Tuesday 29/10/24 at Costa Coffee in Westmoreland Road.  I’m hoping to attend the community café at St Mary’s Church this Wednesday (6/11/24) and we’ll be holding another Cuppa With A Copper session on Thursday 07/11/24 at Costa Coffee, Westmoreland Road from 4pm to 5pm.  Hope to see some of you there.

Thanks as always for your help and support.
Kind regards
Adam
