Burglary Alert

Our local police SNT have warned us about an increased spike of domestic burglaries occurring throughout Barnet, Brent and Harrow (although Golders Green ward has not been affected yet).
 
The suspects involved, equipped with crowbars, have targeted homes during the hours of darkness whether the occupiers were present or not. When disturbed, the suspects promptly flee leaving damage to properties, mainly front doors.
 
The suspects involved consist of masked and gloved individuals described as of white heritage working in a group of as few as 2 to as many as 5. They primarily target jewellery, watches and cash.
 
They tend to use high value vehicles with cloned registration numbers.

Please stay alert.  For crime prevention advice visit this site.

Car Crime

As you probably know, there has been an increase in car related crime on our streets, and residents are very concerned.

A surgery is planned at Pennine Shops Parade (date to be confirmed) to address this and other concerns, and to give a further opportunity for residents to meet the PCs and PCSOs in our local Safer Neighbourhoods Team (SNT).
