Local Priority

Issue

Burglary Dwellings. Mainly in the Shotgate area.

Raised on 29/02/2012

Action

There have been a number of burglaries in the Shotgate area, mainly in the Avenue's. The majority of these burglaries are from the front door being forced open and entry being gained. To combat this, Wickford Neighbourhood Policing Team have given local residents advice through the door to protect your property and during the evenings and early hours of the morning police patrols have been increased. If you hear anything at night that sounds out of the ordinary, please contact the police. We rather it be a false alarm than an actual burglary taking place.

Updated on 07/03/2012

Where:	Co-Op store, Rear of Ladygate Centre, Wickford Highstreet, Wickford
Extra Info:	It has been discussed and agreed that in order to reap the benefits and gain the best out of the Wickford NAPs, one NAP will now be held for the whole of the Wickford area as opposed to 5 individual meetings every 6 weeks. This new meeting will be called Wickford Neighbourhood Meeting. By forging the individual wards together, as a group we can discuss relevant policing issues and set priorities for the whole of Wickford that as a community will affect everyone. Outside agencies are also invited to the meetings as well as other departments of Essex Police to assist us in dealing with issues that may be raised by you, the public. Crime and incident statistics will continue to be passed for each individual ward and any issues can still be raised as normal and discussed no differently to the previous NAPs. This is an open meeting for anyone to attend to work alongside Wickford Neighbourhood Policing Team in achieving a better and safer community for you.

Update

-------------------------------------------------------------Advice about Distraction burglaries----------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you're not sure who is at your door, don't open it. Check the identity of the caller by calling the company they are purporting to be from i.e. gas, electricity, water, police. Use the telephone numbers listed in your local directory or provided independently by your service provider – Do not use any telephone numbers provided by the caller – they may be bogus.

Telephone a neighbour or friend nearby to come along and check out the caller before you open the door to them. Some areas in the country have “nominated neighbour schemes” you can sign up to. Check with your local police to find out if there is one in your area.

Many service providers provide password schemes, sign up to these. When unannounced callers knock at your door they should know the password if they are genuine.

Also, the “Waterboard” no longer exists, it is an obsolete phrase used only by bogus callers.

You can take action in a number of ways to help make your neighbourhood a safer place to live, work and visit.
