Dear Watch Member,

A memebr has reported that ont he evening of the 22nd Feb she received a call form a male puporting to be from SKY requesting details from her including bank details. Fortunately she had the presence of mind not give out any details which in turn caused the male to become abusive. She has checked with Sky this morning and they confirm they did not make the call. REMEMBER under no circumstances shoudl you give out your pesronal details particularly any of your bank details to anyone over the phone. If you are unsure refuse your details and ring the company from a phone number found by yourself to confirm the identity of the caller

OWL on the BBC.

Dear Watch Member,

Watch members. You may be interested in the following information and press release regarding our communications system, OWL, which will be featured on BBC1 TV. We are obviously very pleased in Staffordshire with the impact this has had on keeping you informed, and hope you are similarly impressed.

OWL will be featured on a new BBC1 series “Doorstep Crime 999″ on Thu 1st March at 11am. A story will focus on how a potential victim of a distraction burglary evaded the con because they were pre-warned by a timely OWL alert.

Please find attached a press release.

You may want to inform your watch members about this new TV series starting daily from 20th Feb and to tune in on 1st Mar at 11am when OWL is mentioned.

The BBC are already working on a further series. If you have any interesting stories about doorstep crimes that the BBC can do a feature on (or how an OWL message caught criminals or prevented crimes) please let me know. It’s a good way to show your force in a positive light on national TV.

Bogus Official warning.

Dear Watch Member,

This is a general warning for residents.

Yesterday Thursday 16th February, there was a Bogus Official incident in the Blythe Bridge area where two males went to an address purporting to be from the Water Board.

The males told the elderly resident that his water was contaminated and then offered him £10 if he let them in to check his water!

This is a tactic that hasn’t been used in this area before and residents are being urged to be on their guard, especially the elderly and vulnerable, and to remember never to let anyone into their homes without a prior appointment and then not until their ID has been thoroughly verified.

Any such callers should be reported to the police immediately.
