Crime Trends of note:

Over the last two weeks there have been a number of high value thefts occurring throughout the Mole Valley area. The majority of these have involved breaking into secured outbuildings (sheds or barns) and taking the equipment that is stored inside. The offenders have gained entry onto properties by climbing over fences or coming through bushes.

 

Not only have we seen private properties being attacked but also business premises have been hit, with the theft of £6500 worth of stainless steel tables. So if anyone tries to sell you a table from the back of a van then please call the Police immediately.

 

Fly Tipping seems to be on the increase with reports coming in of over 200 tyres being dumped in the Nation Trust car parks by fourwents pond. This crime is very hard to tackle as it only takes seconds to dump the contents of a vehicle and then be off again. If you do see any fly tipping then please call in and we can check to see if there is evidence left within the rubbish that may help track the owner of it.

Stolen Vehicle:

CN56 BVX - White Iveco Transit van stolen from a burglary in Buckland.

June 30, 2010

AN image has been released of a bearded man police want to speak to in connection with an antiques shop burglary in which thousands of pounds worth of items were stolen.


They included valuable oil paintings and pieces of furniture, and were taken at around 7.40pm on Sunday, June 13 when two men broke into Antique Elegance in Dorking's West Street.


It was the latest in a series of raids at antiques stores in the road, and traders have voiced their frustration about the thieves avoiding detection on CCTV systems. But police have a picture of one man loading a table into the back of a van during last week's incident, and they are hopeful someone will be able to help identify him.

The flat above Antique Elegance was broken into and attempts were then made to enter the shop using a pickaxe and spade. When this failed, the front window was smashed. A member of public spotted the men and they then jumped into a dirty white van and drove off. The vehicle was described as a Mercedes Sprinter van with a distinctive near-side sliding door. It was dark coloured and had some writing on the near-side rear panel. 
Police described the first suspect as a white man in his mid-50s who was 6ft 3in tall and had short, scruffy light grey hair and a grey beard. He was wearing a navy blue jacket with a red strip on the collar and light or green coloured trousers, as well as a black baseball cap with a distinctive piping round the edge. The man spoke with a southern accent. The second man was white and in his mid to late 50s, 5ft 7in tall, of medium build and with scruffy white hair. He was wearing neutral coloured clothes, a cloth cap and tan coloured gloves.


Detective Constable Dion O'Shea said: "The image clearly shows the first suspect loading a small table into the back of the van and you can see the stolen paintings which are already loaded into the van. "We know the van, a white Mercedes Sprinter with false number plates, was driven off in the direction of the High Street and then along Dene Street, but after that we have no further sightings.


"Can you help? Do you remember seeing these men and the van in the Dorking area on Sunday evening?" The crime followed a dawn raid at the nearby Surrey Hills Antiques Centre on June 7, and two break-ins at Talbot House Antiques Centre earlier this year. Shopkeepers from West Street, who have spoken of their frustration at being persistently targeted by thieves, are to meet with police and Mole Valley MP Sir Paul Beresford on July 8 to discuss the issue.


Anyone with information about last week's incident is asked to call Surrey Police on 0845 125 2222, quoting reference MV/10/2512, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111

TWO men tricked their way into an 86-year-old man's Bookham home last week by pretending to be police officers.

They went to the home in Leatherhead Road at 10.30 on Thursday (May 20), asking to be let in under the pretence of "just wanting to look around".

Once inside both men repeatedly asked the victim if he had any money, and when he said he did not, one of the thugs pushed him into his kitchen and held him there while the other one searched the home.

Both were wearing plain clothes and are described as white men, of thin build, around 5ft 9ins and in their 40s. One had a moustache and black hair.

Investigating officer, detective constable Nicola Finlayson said: "This is a particularly worrying burglary as the victim was duped into letting the suspects into his home because he thought they were police officers.

"Once again these despicable people preyed on the trust and the vulnerability of their victim. The elderly gentleman is frail and has been left very shaken by the whole experience."

Police have carried out house to house inquiries and a number of neighbours saw a small hatchback car, which may be silver, and was in the area at the time of the burglary. There were three men in their 20s inside.

One of these men was wearing a white jumper with horizontal bands and another had a blue short-sleeved shirt on. Police want to find out who the owner of the car is, and who was seen inside it.

DC Finlayson added: "I would also urge the local community to watch out for anyone calling on friends and family to double check their credentials or perhaps challenge someone you don't recognise calling at an elderly neighbour's house."

Anyone concerned about a visitor can call Surrey Police on 0845 125 2222, and those with information about the Bookham incident, in which nothing was stolen, should call the same number quoting reference MV/10/2078, or Crimestoppers in confidence on 0800 555 111

Elderly shopper has purse stolen in Epsom


May 26, 2010

EPSOM shoppers have been advised to be vigilant after an elderly woman had her purse stolen.

The incident occurred on Thursday 20 May when the 78-year-old woman was targeted between 12.45 and 1pm in Epsom town centre.

The victim had used the purse prior to getting on a bus and did not notice it was missing until she got off.

Detective constable David Warner said: "It is easy to become distracted when you are out and about but I would urge people to always be aware of their surroundings and other pedestrians or shoppers who may be standing nearby."

Police are advising people to keep bags close by at all times and to stay close to any shopping trolleys containing bags.

Anyone with information regarding this theft is urged to contact Surrey Police on 0845 125 2222 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111

We have a sign 'LONGMEADOW and a 'mirror' (one for coming out of drives etc.)

Can you ask around, or perhaps 'Parish Magazine' if anyone has lost these items?

Both sign & mirror are distinctive and if the owners can describe then I may be able to return them.

Police found many house signs in a garage and most have been returned by Simon.

Thanks for your help

Appeal for witnesses following distraction style thefts
Surrey Police is appealing for witnesses following two distraction style thefts in which motorists were targeted in supermarket car parks in Reigate and Hookwood.
The first incident happened at 1.30pm on Tuesday, 2 February, as a lady was loading her car with shopping bags in Morrisons, Bell Street, car park she was beckoned by the driver of another vehicle.
A black Mercedes had parked in front of her car, blocking her exit, and the driver was asking the victim for directions to the nearest hospital. When the lady returned to her car she realised her credit and debit cards had been stolen. The cards were used 10-minutes later to withdraw hundreds of pounds from her bank account and to purchase £500 worth of men's clothing.
The suspect is described as a white eastern European man, aged in his mid 40s, stocky build with cropped dark hair. He was driving an old black Mercedes.
The second incident happened sometime between 11.30am and 11.50am on Wednesday, 3 February, when a shopper returned to her car parked in Tesco car park, Reigate Road, Hookwood. A black Mercedes blocked her exit and the driver beeped the horn to get the victim's attention. When the lady approached the vehicle the driver asked for directions to the nearest hospital. As the victim got back in her car she noticed her passenger door was ajar and her wallet was missing.
Investigating officer PC Siobhan Gleeson said: "We are looking into potential CCTV opportunities from Morrisons car park which will hopefully show us the black Mercedes and those responsible for these thefts.
"Clearly the same suspects are targeting shoppers in the area and we are reminding people to remain vigilant at all times as these suspects could try to distract others.
"It is so important shoppers do not get distracted when loading or unloading their vehicles and always keep your valuables securely locked away.
"I am asking people to think back and if you were in either of the supermarket car parks on those days please come forward and provide me with the information I need in order to bring the people responsible to justice."
Anyone with any information regarding these incidents is encouraged to contact Surrey Police on 0845 125 2222, quoting reference number RB/10/1076 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
Call 0845 125 2222 for all non-emergency policing matters.
Call 999 if you have a genuine emergency requiring the attendance of the police (eg a crime is in progress or someone is in immediate danger).
Call independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 if you have information about crime and don't want to leave your name

Elderly man conned out of £24,000
A 76-year-old man has been conned out of thousands of pounds by rogue tradesmen who offered to carry out work on the chimney at his home in Surrey.
The pensioner, from Banstead, was approached by three men who offered to check the chimney stack for £25.
Police said he was then asked to pay a £4,000 deposit to repair the "extremely dangerous" chimney, and within four days had handed over £24,000 in total.
The suspects were described as white men who spoke with Irish accents.
Det Insp Richard Hamlin said: "The main conman, who called himself Mr O'Hara, was very confident, plausible and convinced the victim he was dealing with a legitimate and reputable company.
"He extorted £24,000 from this pensioner in less than a week which is more than some people earn in a year."
He said the suspects then asked for an additional £20,000 which was when the victim contacted Surrey Police and trading standards officers.

Thief takes £2,600 Christmas cash
A 75-year-old woman had more than £2,600 stolen from her handbag minutes after she had withdrawn the cash from her Christmas savings account.
Police believe the woman was targeted as she waited in the Post Office in Epsom High Street on 26 October shortly after putting the cash in her wallet.
A man next to her insisted she pick up some money from the floor and as she did so she felt a tug on her bag.
She realised the savings were missing as the man vanished from the premises.
'Particularly nasty'
The victim was not able to give a description of the thief, but he was with a woman and both had heavy eastern European accents.
They left the Post Office in opposite directions.
"This is a particularly nasty crime, as we believe this elderly lady was deliberately targeted," said Det Con Rebecca Sargeant.
"Only minutes earlier she had withdrawn her entire Christmas savings, money which should have been spent on herself, her husband and their family.
"Instead these callous thieves have deprived them of that."
Ms Sargeant appealed to anyone who was in the High Street at about 1115 GMT to come forward with any information.

31/10/09

There were about 30 - 40 youths at the Old Orchard last night.

Myself and a Special went down there as I had a tip off that there may be a 'party'. Unfortunately as there was only two of us we only managed to catch 8 of the youths. However a lot of drink was confiscated and cans/bottles emptied.

We picked some of the rubbish up and left it in a black bin bag.

Patrols throughout the evening by both of us found the remaining youths on the Rugby Field and Cricket Field. More drink was confiscated on both occasions.  Another lot were intercepted on the Coach Road with the same result.

Names taken show that the Youths came from Brockham, Betchworth, Dorking Town, North Holmwood, West Humble, in other words, all around so this was an 'organised' event.

We will be doing the same patrol tonight but I do not think they will return to this area so hopefully we will have a peaceful night.

£18,500 raid on mobile phone shop

Appealing for witnesses, Det Con Leigh Wall said: "This was a planned robbery where thieves have stolen a significant amount of expensive equipment.
"This offence took place on the High Street at lunchtime and in broad daylight so the area would have been busy with shoppers and other members of the public."

A card from Mr J Collins of South Coast Galleries seeking to buy all manner of articles has been circulated in the village. You will note if you have the card there is only a mobile number and no address, web site or email contact. Mr Collins says he will call in the next few days. You are advised to be very circumspect in dealing with this type of company and it may well be that you decide not to invite them into the house no matter how plausible they may seem.

It is important to add that I know nothing to the detriment of the company or Mr Collins but as with all callers seeking to buy things at the door be careful as there is a history in Brockham of dealers entering the house and jewellery disappearing. Again I must emphasis I know nothing to the detriment of this caller or his company.

Raider uses cat flap in break-in
A burglar stole property worth more than a thousand pounds from a house in Surrey after reaching through the cat flap for the door key.
Police said the offender broke the flap in order to reach the key which had been left in the door of the house in Cranleigh on Monday night.
The burglar searched the house in Guildford Road and took a television and jewellery.
Officers said the occupants of the house had gone out at the time.
Security measures
The watch, bracelet, necklace and television that were taken between 2030 and 2130 BST were valued at £1,189.
Crime reduction advisor John Robini advised cat owners to use lockable cat flaps.
He also suggested people think carefully about where they fit cat flaps and have them leading to an outbuilding, a shed, a garage, or a room that can be locked from the rest of the house.
People should not leave keys in locks or valuable items near cat flaps, letterboxes or open windows, and use house alarms if they have them, he added.

SUMMER RAVES


The summer period increases the risk of rural raves, which often result in crop and machinery damage, noise nuisance and other serious problems within the rural area.

If you own land that may be attractive to illegal rave organisers please consider additional measures that would frustrate vehicle access and make these much more difficult to set up.

As a short term measure farmers and land owners may wish to consider placing heavy and immobilised machinery at likely access points to inhibit those wishing to attend with vehicles and set up the rave

Most raves occur at weekends and the set up will often start at dusk. If you see vehicles that may be used to carry rave equipment accessing remote locations. Please contact the police immediately. Raves are often very difficult for the police to close down once they have established themselves, but can often be stopped before the music starts.

Early notification of suspicious activity can assist the police in stopping a rave before the situation develops into a full scale event.

Appeal for information after horses injured in Headley


Two horses were deliberately attacked in Lodge Bottom Lane, Headley. Both incidents happened sometime between 7.30pm on Friday, 16 January, and 12pm on Saturday, 17 January when each animals right eye were punctured with an air pellet.
The horses, an eight-year-old Shetland miniature crossed with a Falabella, and a 16.1 hand Clydesdale Cob, are under-going emergency veterinary treatment to try to save their sight.
This was a deliberate and shocking act of animal cruelty. This incident has distressed the owners and the whole equestrian community in the area which is why I am appealing to members of the public to help us.
Do you know who could have done this to two horses It is particularly concerning as this incident comes only a few weeks after a bull was injured in Slough Lane. At the moment we are not ruling out that the two incidents are connected which is why we need information from the community.
I am urgently appealing to anyone with any information at all, no matter how insignificant it may seem to you, to come forward. Clearly those responsible need to be identified as a matter of urgency. Any information however small needs to be reported and I will work hard to bring those responsible to justice.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Surrey Police on 0845 125 2222 quoting reference MV/09/242.

Christmas Advice - As Christmas approaches can we give the following advice about looking after yourself and family for the festive season and beyond

" Always secure and lock your doors and windows, even if you are just popping out - about one in four burglaries happen simply because the householder left windows or doors unlocked.
" Make sure your external security lights are in working order and put internal lamps on timer switches to come on when dark if you are away.
" Always use your burglar alarm - if you don't have an alarm, consider investing in one.
" Don't store keys near the front door particularly where they can be seen and never hang a spare key inside the letter box or hidden in a convenient hiding place such as under the mat or beneath a flowerpot - keep them in an accessible place away from the door known only to members of the household.
" Secure garages and sheds - they are often full of expensive tools that are attractive to a thief and ideal to use for breaking into your home.
" Don't leave Christmas presents under the tree in full view of burglars who may be peering through windows - keep them in a secure place until the big day.
" Don't put your empty boxes from Christmas presents (or any new purchases) out until your recycling collection day and make sure you break up the boxes and secure them together - the boxes and wrappings provide burglars with just the information they are looking for to see what new gadgets and items await them inside.
" Postcode your property with a permanent marker pen or ultra-violet marker pen depending on the type of object being marked - this will make it harder for a thief to sell the items and easier for the police to identify the true owner if they are recovered.
" Note down the serial numbers of all electrical goods such as TVs, DVD players, computers and camera equipment and keep the list out of sight in a secure place. It is also a good idea to photograph valuable items such as jewellery and pictures as this will help with identification if the items are recovered.
" Shopping for Christmas can be busy and stressful - be aware of your surroundings, watch out for pickpockets, keep bags zipped up and ensure wallets and purses are not visible. Never hang handbags on pushchairs or shopping trolleys.
" Don't leave your shopping on display in your car and make sure your car is locked and secure.
