Senior Constable Don Allan's monthly newsletter
Hi Neighbours,
Don's newsletter starts with ways to reduce local crime " residents are the eyes and ears " for the Police "along with timely and accurate information" including CCTV images provided also by residents.
There's a safer plates notification in the newsletter also.
Please read the attached newsletter and if possible please pass it on, it doesn't matter where the person lives, the information Don provides is valuable anywhere......
My comment is, lock up your cars, put a steering lock on, have an immobiliser fitted, remove all valuables from your car - laptops, phones, lawnmowers, golf clubs, the kitchen sink ,etc etc.
