This was discussed at the NAP meeting on 25/04/12. It has been

Update
LOCAL CRIME.
METAL THEFTS
Over last weekend the Doctors Surgery in Highwoods Square had lead
removed from the roof. The Community Centre next door was also
targetted, but the persons responsible fled empty handed from
there. There have also been attempts recently to remove lead from
porches in and around the Chinook area.
REPORTING SUSPICIOUS PEOPLE AND VEHICLES
Please!!!I if you see a person or vehicle acting suspiciously take
as much detail as possible such as index plates, colour,
description of people and direction of travel and call police
immediately, we would rather come out to a false alarm than not be
called at all.
VEHICLE CRIME
We are still having a problem with vehicles being entered and items
of value stolen. Most of these vehicles had been left insecure. I
would urge owners to double check that they have locked their
vehicles even after using a remote control locking system.
Mercedes Sprinter Vans are still being targeted by thieves for
their catalytic convertors. Whole exhaust systems are being stolen.
Owners please take as many security measures as you can. There are
products available that secure catalytic convertors and they can be
security marked.
SECURITY
Home and vehicle security is of great importance and by taking time
to protect your vehicle you may reduce your chances of becoming a
victim of crime.The best way to protect your property is to totally
remove valuable items from your vehicle and any trace that you own
such items for example take time to remove the suction mark from
the windscreen that may suggest you have a Sat Nav.
Parking in well lit areas and those covered by CCTV may also help
protect your vehicle.
For further Crime reduction advice please call 101 and ask to speak
to your local neighbourhood officers Pc Kelly Metcalfe or Pc Steve
Walsom.
NEIGHBOURHOOD MEETINGS.
Neighbourhood Meetings are meetings which are held within your
local community. They provide an ideal opportunity for members of
the public to discuss issues and problems within their own
neighbourhoods. We hope that you will attend and meet with us,
councillors and other agencies to discuss local issues which are of
concern to you. We look forward to meeting you.
The next Neighbourhood Meeting will take place at 2.30pm on 23rd
May 2012 at the Mile End Methodist Church Hall, Nayland Road,
Colchester.
You can take action in a number of ways to help make your
neighbourhood a safer place to live, work and visit.
