Good afternoon. Message from PCSO Pete Davies of the Carholme police team. We have received a report of a male acting suspiciously around a female and her child whilst walking along Long Leys Road, between the Curtis factory and Carram Way. This occurred around 11:10am on Wednesday 28/02/2018. This male walked alongside the woman and her daughter, not saying anything, just making them feel very uncomfortable. The male is described as: approx. 6′ 0″ tall, medium build, wearing dark clothes, a neck gaiter and a woollen hat. His face was partly covered and it looked as though he had some sort of skin graft on part of his face.

Good afternoon. Message from PCSO Pete Davies of Carholme police team. As you are probably aware, there have recently been a number of anti social behaviour incidents in the Carholme area, particularly Sainsbury’s and The Winning Post Co-op on Carholme Road, the West End foodmarket on West Parade, and the area on and around the West Common. These have tended to occur throughout the evenings and into the early morning hours. A few of the culprits have been identified and are being dealt with accordingly by officers from the police and council ASB team. If you do witness any of these mindless acts it would be appreciated if you can inform the police on 101. Many thanks.

This is a Message from the Carholme NPT- Over the night of 01/06/17 There have been two thefts from motor vehicles in the area’s of Woodstock Street and West Parade. We have seen an increase of theft from motor vehicles in the area where windows have been smashed or vehicles left unlocked. Please be vigilant and pass on the following information to friends and neighbours.
Theft from motor vehicles
With the exception of specialist theft of car parts such as catalytic converters, most theft from motor vehicles is opportunistic. This often involves forced entry to vehicles but it is surprising just how many cars are left unlocked. This might be as a result of forgetfulness or incorrect use of key fobs.
You can reduce the risks by following some simple advice:
- Make sure you have locked your vehicle and your windows are closed too, even for short stops.
- Use your garage or park in well-lit, well-populated and overlooked areas.
- Use car parks that have parking attendants and ones with Park Mark accreditation. These car parks are designed to be safe environments and are approved by the police.
- Remove your valuables. Even bags, jackets, cases and toys have a value to thief. A jacket could contain cash or cigarettes that may encourage them. Lock them away in your boot but only if you cannot access the boot from the rear seats and you cannot unlock the boot from a switch in the cabin.
- Remove loose change from view. Its presence may tip the scales in any decision on whether to attempt to break in.
- Remove electronics such as sat-navs. You should also remove any holders or chargers and wipe clear suction cup marks. Any evidence could encourage a thief to look further. Consider buying another means of holding your device such as a weighted mat holder.
- If you have expensive in-car entertainment, consider a better alarm. Most car alarms rely on the doors of the vehicle being opened. If you have expensive aftermarket systems or a security cubby, consider fitting a Thatcham approved alarm that also detects entry into the cabin of your vehicle.
- Register expensive in-car entertainment systems with www.immobilise.com. See our pages on property registration and marking. If you have your equipment marked, advertise the fact using warning stickers.
- Keep your vehicle tidy. Clutter in the foot wells could make a thief feel it’s worth a look whilst envelopes left on seats could contain something worth stealing.
- Keep your glove box and centre console cubby tidy and open. If you have nothing inside that’s worth stealing, show that this is the case.
- Keep ID badges on your person. Criminals know that they may be with electronic passes to buildings. They may also be attractive to fraudsters.
