A resident in South London has reported a possible scam taking place in his locality. A man claiming to represent ‘Neighbourhood Watch Support’ telephoned to say that a Neighbourhood Watch brochure was going out to all the local residents. The caller was encouraging local businesses to advertise in this brochure. The resident agreed to place an advertisement and later received a further phone call from a company calling itself ‘Business Community Support Multimedia’. The caller took some details over the phone. At a later date the resident received a letter with a ‘proof’ for the advertisement. Apart from the name of the business and the contact phone number, every detail was incorrect. The accompanying letter said that unless any amendments were received within five days (by phone, email or fax) they would assume that the details were correct and place the advert. The resident tried several times to contact the company by email and phone but to no avail, finding his emails unanswered and his phone calls cut off. Luckily he had not yet paid any money for the advertisement. We would like to make it clear that there is no such organisation as ‘Neighbourhood Watch Support’ and the Neighbourhood & Home Watch Network does not produce any such local brochures nor contract Business Community Support Multimedia to do so. If you have any concerns, questions or issues you would like to raise relating to this, please contact us on

The Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has launched a website, Your Freedom, where ordinary people can suggest how the government can restore liberties that have been lost, comment on which unnecessary laws should be repealed, and suggest regulations on businesses that should be stripped away. Mr Clegg describes it as “your chance to have your say”. He wants to know how you want the government to balance the rights of the citizen with the laws of the state. Make your views count! You can submit ideas on the website and once your idea is up, other users of the site will be able to comment on it and to rate their favourite ideas. The government departments involved will respond to the most popular workable ideas. This is a great opportunity to voice your opinions, and we would be grateful if you could promote this among Neighbourhood and Home Watch members in your area. Please encourage people to visit the Your Freedom website. (Further information can also be found on the MyNHW and Home Office websites.) |

This week I have been to the Connections Bus at Fen Drayton on Thursday evening which was good fun.
There have been two crimes reported this week in our villages, one shed/garage burglary and one theft from Papworth Hospital.
I have been out and about visiting Thistle Green in Swavesey to deliver a talk to a ladies group about my role as a PCSO.
I have been busy patrolling as it has been my week of late shifts this week getting out and about looking for any anti-social behaviour. If you are aware of any hot-spots I am missing please let me know.
Again if you are out enjoying the warm weather this weekend please do shut your windows and doors when you leave the house and if your heading up to the nature reserve in Fen Drayton or any beauty spots please dont leave valuables on show in your vehicles. PCSO Kerrie Macinnes |
