NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH REPORT OLD BOLINGBROKE JULY 2021.
Once again it is very quiet in our village but this must not make us complacent.
Criminal opportunists will always be looking for easy quick entrances into your property via open windows or unlocked doors.
Please make sure your car, property and outbuildings are made as secure as possible to make it much harder for these criminals to gain entrance and steal you possessions.
Please be aware of the many scams that are circulating at the moment.
Criminals are targeting people booking their summer holidays on line.
Advice from Lincolnshire Police is if you are thinking of purchasing anything online follow Action Frauds Advice to avoid falling victim to fraudsters and always trust your instincts.
Remember if an offer seems too good to be true , it probably is.
Please be aware of delivery scams and phishing emails or texts that are still circulating.
These messages are pretending to be from DPD , Royal Mail or Hermes.
They claim that you have missed a delivery and ask you for a small fee. Thereby obtaining your bank details.
Remember never give anyone your personal bank details .
Fly tipping.
We recently have had fly tipping once again in our village.
If you come across any please report it to ELDC or if you believe the fly tipping to be of a hazardous waste then please contact the Environment Agency.
If you see anything suspicious in our village please ring it in on a 101 immediately to give the police a chance to attend.
If a car is involved please try to get the car registration, make and colour.
Also the description of anyone involved in or committing a crime.
Please stay alert and vigilant to keep our village a safer place to live.
