FENNY COMPTON NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH
Outbuildings - Your garage or garden shed may
contain valuable equipment but many outbuildings are easy pickings for an
opportunist thief. Link for advice http://bit.do/shedsecure
Poaching and Rural Crime - Poaching can lead to
a number of animal welfare issues, serious loss of income from illegal taking
of game and fish and the damage which many poachers do to crops and land.
Poachers are usually involved with many other rural crimes from theft of dogs and
livestock to burglary. There's now an app, Project
Poacher, for that. See projectpoacher.com
or search your app store.
Car Thefts On The Rise - Vehicle thefts are on
the rise for the first time in years yet 40% of motorists gladly hand over the
keys to their car to people they do not know. Car owners do not appear to think
twice about leaving their valuable vehicle with a stranger, with few bothering
to check whether the valet company or car washing team, for example, is a
member of an accredited body. More http://bit.do/cartheft
Friends against Scams - A new campaign has been
launched to raise awareness of scams and encourage people to take a stand
against them. Scams often target people in vulnerable situations – the Friends
Against Scams campaign aims to protect and prevent these people from becoming
victims of scams by empowering communities to ‘Take a Stand Against Scams’.
