Excellent Result


Just before midnight last night a member of the public who is involved in Neighbourhood Watch & CSN noted suspicious activity in the area of the Filling Station at Glenavy Road Moira.

The matter was immediately reported to police whose equally prompt response duly resulted in the arrests of two men for attempted burglary, going equipped and possession of a stolen vehicle.

This was an excellent combination of vigilance by the public, police actions in responding and two criminals effectively caught "red handed" and clearly indicates the benefits of members of the public participating in projects such as Neighbourhood Watch / CSN.

Well done to all those concerned.

Scams
Radio reports this morning of members of the public receiving scam text messages to their mobile telephones indicating they were eligible for insurance claims as the result of accidents.

Others were receiving text messages which indicated that they should reply "stop" if they no longer wished to receive same - the outcome being that any reply to these messages incurred a large charge circa £10 which no doubt went to the originator.

If you receive any dubious emails or text messages do not respond simply delete them of your system preferably without opening them if possible.

Genuine communications on such matters will no doubt be written and relate to details that you will already be aware of.

In relation to the foreign lottery letters that many receive - if you didn't enter the lottery or any other competition you cannot have won it. Bin it.

Burglary / Vehicle Theft - all areas

Burglary / Vehicle Theft


Creeper burglars burgle houses to locate car keys and to subsequently steal vehicles. Recent incidents indicate some of these individuals are using straightened coat hangers as a means to attempt to lift keys off hall tables.

CSN would remind householders not to leave their house/car keys within easy reach of their letterboxes - this may help reduce the number of victims of creeper burglaries.

A burglary attempt in Moira was made in the early hours (0430am) of yesterday morning in the Berwick Heights area using this very procedure. The criminals were disturbed by the householder and made off.

***********************************************************************************************************************************************
