We run two small grants programmes and a mentoring programme, all of which are currently open to applications:

In one case they managed to steal £100 cash and in another a set of keys, but at another address the alert resident refused to let them in. At the fourth address in Crawley, nothing was stolen.
The first two incidents happened just before and just after 6pm respectively in Langley Crescent, Woodingdean, Brighton. In each case a man called at the door and purported to be a police officer. In one case he spoke of someone allegedly being on the roof but the 81-year-old woman resident refused to let him in. At the second address occupied by a 86-year-old woman he walked in and went round the house before leaving with her handbag containing £30 cash, and a set of keys.
About an hour later three men posing as police officers called at an address in Drove Crescent, Portslade, occupied by an elderly couple, and claimed to be investigating a burglary there. They entered and stole £120 cash.

Some questions that we'll discuss:

Dear Neighbourhood Watch Members,

As the snow is now melting and conditions are improving it is important to remember to be vigilant regarding cold callers.

If someone attends your home address claiming to be a representative of an organisation such as a water/gas/electric company or stating they are a builder/repairman etc please check their identification and make a call to the company they claim to be from before you give them access to your property. If they are genuine they will not mind waiting!

Best wishes,

Sussex Police
