Dear All,
Please see below the crime updates for w/c 12.06.2010. It is in a slightly new format and hope it is to your liking.
Once again please feel free to contact me at any time.
Computer scam
update.
This is continueing
to effect residents of Battle. I have copied an e mail which I received, which
I hope is self explanatory.
Regarding the warning in your email of 12th June, last evening I too received a call purporting to be from Microsoft about a ‘serious problem’. He knew my name. I shook him off and hung up.
I understand that, had one accepted the call as genuine, the caller would have gained access to the PC and downloaded some malware, so creating the ‘problem’, and would then ask for payment by credit card to ‘solve’ it. Other areas have been under this attack in recent months and it now appears to be our turn.
Please don’t forget, if
you see any form of Anti-social driving (speeding, using a mobile phone whilst
driving, regular drink drivers, disqualified drivers etc), please report it to
us via our Op Crackdown system : http://www.operationcrackdown.org/
Or, if you have any information about crimes that have occurred or, possible illegal activities that people are committing, you can always report it to Sussex Police on 0845 60 70 99, or anonymously to Crime stoppers on 0800 555 111, http://www.crimestoppers-uk.org/

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH SCHEME
My name is Charles McIlwrick and I
am the Chairman for the newly formed Rother Neighbourhood Watch Association
which was formed on 18th May 2010. This covers Bexhill Battle and Rye
areas.
Some of you may have already been in contact with me so please forgive any
duplication. There are over 300 people receiving this email BUT not everyone is a co-ordinator and
not everyone is in a NHW scheme. I am desperately trying to form a full
list of co-ordinators. We have re-vamped the forms and ask that those who have
been co-ordinators for some time, make contact and get some of the new forms to
be completed so that we have uniformity across the area.
PLEASE, IF YOU ARE A
CO-ORDINATOR email me on charles.mcilwrick@googlemail.com giving your name, address, telephone
number and the number of houses in your scheme.
IF YOU ARE NOT A CO-ORDINATOR PLEASE consider
setting up a scheme in your road/street.
WE CANNOT SUCCEED WITHOUT YOUR
SUPPORT AND CO-OPERATION.
THINK AND ACT NOW
