Dear all,
Crime is still falling in Craven but complacency is letting us down. So, time to take stock and remember some of the basic crime prevention messages. And I have turned them around to freshen them up.
1. Most people in Craven will lock their doors even when they are in their house, this prevents 'walk in' type crimes.
2. Most people in Craven will challenge people on their doorstep to produce ID and will not let them in if they are unexpected or they are suspicious. Almost all people will not do business on their doorstep.
3. The vast majority of people in Craven will lock their cars and remove valuables from sight.
4. A large number of people call the police when they see something suspicious. This allows the Craven RADAR team to follow up on any call regarding a suspicious call. This is very successful as Villains do not want to come to somewhere where they are exposed.
Please spread the messages far and wide we need to work together to chase the last few active criminals from our communities and most criminals do not come to Craven!
Thank you
Geoff Crocker
