Hi Neighbours,
Don comments the residential & vehicle crime incidents reported to police throughout May increased by 46 % compared to April.
Of note, some of our local residents have reported a suspicious male wearing a high vis vest, riding a lime scooter around our neighbourhoods scoping properties. If you see this activity occurring call police immediately on 111.
