Neighbourhood Police Update W/c 21st & 28th November 2011

Crime
There have been no reports of burglary in the last week. There has been 1 report of vehicle crime which occurred on The Crescent where an insecure car had tools stolen. As it is now getting dark extremely early, please remember to utilise timer switches. Leaving lights on, the TV or even a radio, close the curtains and the use of outdoor lighting can be a great success at deterring prowling criminals. As Christmas is fast approaching we need to do everything possible and work together to prevent the rise in seasonal crime.

ASB no incidents to report.

Week Commencing 28th November

Scam from North Yorkshire
A male claiming to work for Lloyds Bank phoned a customer of the bank
stating he has a new debit card for the customer. The customer’s bank details were confirmed between the male and the customer over the phone. A male then went to the customer’s home address and exchanged the customer’s current card for a fake one. The male then used the customer’s current card to obtain money out of a cash point. Please do not pass your bank details over the phone. The bank would never ask you for your card details over the phone and they would never deliver it by a bank employee by hand.

Your local NPT are starting the ‘Bobby in a lobby’ Christmas Crime campaign
in the near future, please come along to meet your local officers, raise
any local issues or concerns that you have, obtain crime prevention advice
and leaflets on an array of offences from house and shed burglary to drugs
and ASB. We will also have a variety of free crime prevention goodies to

to purchase for a £1. We look forward to seeing you there.

Adel Crag Woodland Event Update (The Spinney)

Further to a previous post our clean up event at The Spinney in Adel Woods during the month of October was a great success – the children enjoyed and certainly put a smile on their faces.  It was not just educational for the children but also for the adults.

All generations joined in the activities with Steve Clavering, Countryside Ranger including a Walk & Talk where we discovered a bit more about the trees and how they differ from each other.

We were delighted that a number of residents from Harrogate and Holt Park joined in the fun day event.  It goes to show that other communities can work well together as well as our own local people, which was an excellent opportunity to get to know each other better.  We all should feel proud to know that other communities have an interest in our area.

We would like to thank the Rangers Steve and Dan for their help with everything they do from running public events to organising and delivering practical educational conversation tasks.

Although it was a cold day everyone enjoyed it and would like to do it again sometime during early Spring/ Summer.

Adel Crag Association wish to thank Leeds City Council’s Outer North West Area Committee for the recently awarded Wellbeing fund grant, and local ward member Cllr Barry Anderson towards the event.

We also would like to thank PCSOs Claire Salkeld and Becky Neilson for attending the opening of the event.

Once again, thank you for an enjoyable day and we hope to see you all again at future events.
