Putney Crime Briefing - 24 November, 2005


Street crimes and burglaries reported to Putney police between 25 November and 1st December, 2005

Police have had reports of two men a blue Ford car ( model unknown ) stopping elderly people and offering them presents if they will accept a lift home. The driver of the car is a white male, aged 40, of stocky build. The passenger is also white, aged 50 - 60, with grey scruffy collar length hair and bad skin. It is not clear what their intentions are, but they are unlikely to be good.

Yellow Pages and other telephone directories will be delivered all over the borough between now and Christmas. Please ensure they are not left on doorsteps as an invitation to burglars.

If you are able to provide any information on terrorist offences, call the Anti-Terrorist Hotline, on 0800 789 321.
