Scam Telephone Calls
A CSN member received a phone call yesterday morning from a male person saying they were running an advertisement on behalf of the emergency services. The mystery caller mentioned he had got a telephone number from the "Farm Link" website on which an advertisement had been placed by the member.
The caller spoke with an English accent which aroused suspicion especially when he said the advertiser would be the only company selling the advertised product. When questioned what use it would be advertising in a Scotland or England (as he had phoned with an overseas number (0151 236 8058) which had come up on the members mobile before it was answered. He replied that they also work here.
When asked for contact details or a web address for his company so that checks could be carried out out he hung up.
This may well have been a fraudulent call so be wary in passing out personal and financial details unless a call can be properly authenticated.

Alcohol - Parents, children and you.
“1 in 10 young people who have drunk alcohol have ended up in trouble with the police”.
Alcohol can reduce your child’s inhibitions and make them do things which are out of character.
They can get involved in anti-social/criminal behaviour within a community.
This could lead to your child being involved with the police and possibly resulting in your child getting a criminal record which can make it harder for them to get a job when they’re older.
It can also affect them if they are going abroad because some countries may refuse entry to people with a criminal record.
Alcohol can make your child more likely to be:
• A victim of a violent assault or other crimes.
It has been found that the younger people are when they drink the more likely they are to be a victim of violence.
It can also make them more vulnerable to:
• Injuries from accidents, for example falls and road accidents;
• Using other drugs or solvents;
• Unwanted sexual activity, unsafe sexual activity, which can lead to sexually transmitted infections (STI) or unplanned pregnancy;
• Problems at school, such as poorer school performance or truancy;
• Having difficulties in relationships with family or friends.

• For support and advice for parents, contact the Parents’ Advice Centre confidential and free helpline on 0808 8010 722 or go to www.parentsadvicecentre.org

General - All Areas
Burglary In the last month there has been a number of 'garage door' type burglaries in the Lisburn area.
Most of these burglaries have occurred in daylight hours in the areas of the Glenavy Road (Airport Road) between Moira and Nutts Corner, where the aim seems to be the theft of 'ride on lawnmowers', petrol driven garden machinery and small plant equipment.
The method in each case is similar in that, entry has been gained through the main garage door which is normally rammed by a van or heavy vehicle.
All of the residences burgled to date, appear to have been vulnerable because neighbouring dwellings have been a significant distance away. A white transit van bearing false registration plates, has been seen in the vicinity of some of these burglaries.
Rural residents in particular are therefore asked to be vigilant as to any suspicious vehicles, persons or activity in the area and to advise police with details should anything give cause for suspicion or concern.
Ensure when carrying out garden maintenance that equipment is secured behind closed garage doors and that the property is left secure when vacant. As we enter the "grass cutting" period no doubt such criminals will increasingly be on the lookout for easy identification of potential theft locations.

Abridged Minutes CPLC Meeting Wednesday, 10th February, 2010
1. Police Update There had been little change in the type and regularity of incidents from the last CPLC meeting. Police operations were ongoing and focused on anti-social behaviour, creeper and house burglaries, underage drinking and driving whilst under intoxication. Aghalee had been reasonably quiet, whilst Ballinderry Residents’ Youth Diversion Scheme, it was hoped, would make a positive contribution to community cohesion. ( For Glenavy see below)
2. Aghalee Traffic violations were still of concern, and the police would continue to monitor speed, and as with other areas, increased attention would turn to secondary and B Class roads to deter road crime : especially drivers continuing to drive whilst under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.
3. Ballinderry. Situation in Ballinderry, with regarding anti-social behaviour and property damage, appeared to be showing a general improvement. Stephen commented on the excellent facilities at Lower Ballinderry Primary School.
4. Glenavy Henry brought to the attention of the meeting his, and the residents’ concerns due to repeated small fires in the grounds of the church and other locations within Glenavy. It was felt that it was only a matter of time before either serious injury or extensive property damage was reported. The police would increase patrol time to Glenavy, but all members were reminded to encourage speedy and accurate reporting to the police, as soon as an incident has, or is about to occur!
5. Maghaberry Traffic violations, especially speeding, were discussed with the police intention to increase the level of attention to the areas highlighted by Will and others.
6. Moira The new proposed changes to road alignments, traffic lights, traffic control and public safety were discussed in detail. Developments will be awaited with interest.
