We have had a couple of burglaries this week and we have seen a couple of suspicious vehicles whilst on foot patrol.

Modern cars with keyless entry are now a target for thieves. Some using gadgets that can read the signal from inside your house and then be transmitted to another device to make the car think that you have the key. Consider the old school way of a steering lock. A physical barrier to prevent theft.

We hold weekly community contact sessions. Our upcoming events are as follows: 6th March - North Cray Neighbourhood Centre from 10-11am, 15th March - North Cray Neighbourhood Centre from 2-3pm. If you would like to speak to us about any issues or would just like to come and meet the team, please just show up. No appointment necessary. Yours officers, PC Phil Clark, PC Paul Sealy and PCSO Pauline Cimen are your local officers. We are here to help you. If you need us, get in touch. Above all, stay safe and stay warm.
