  • * Update 19th September, 2008 * Car number plate theft is increasing. Special screws are available to help prevent this.
     

  • *Update 4th October, 2007* On Monday 24 October a man was confronted as he appeared to leave a house in Montgomery Road. He acted confused then sped away in his car up Bollo Lane. He had apparently tried to gain access claiming he wanted “to check the wood in the floor”. After the police were called, it was discovered the man was a known sex offender.

    He was about 6ft tall, 50-60 years old, shabbily dressed with blue jeans and a jacket, medium length grey hair, white, English and he drove an old dark green Rover.

     

  • *Update 11th December, 2006* : The attached booklet contains useful advice about distraction burglaries.

  • *Update 4th December, 2005* NEW SCAM: Car number-plates are removed and then used for trips into the congestion charge area and illegal parking.  If yours are stolen, call the police and request a crime number; use this when responding to a summons. No Nails glue, costing £4 a tube, can be purchased from B&Q and is very effective. Most car plates are easily removed

  • *Update 28th May, 2005* Chiswick Police report: "There have been two cases in Chiswick where  a woman has posed as a nurse to con her way into peoples' homes, then stolen property whilst the occupant has been distracted.  She is aged around 30, black, wears a nurse's uniform and on one occasion was accompanied by two men.
    This woman may well try her luck again.  Please warn  vulnerable neighbours,  advise them not to let anyone claiming to be a nurse into their home unless they are expecting them & to call police if they are suspicious. "
