CRIME REPORT FOR FEBRUARY 2015

Four offences were reported to Police during February, which is another good outcome for our area.  It should be noted that both burglaries occurred during the daytime, with the other offences at night.  It is important to make sure your house is always locked when you go out. 
If you don’t have window locks, I would recommend them, as you can then lock your windows slightly open to let a breeze still come through the house.  If you can afford proper keyed window locks, Bunnings sell the “old-style” screw-on window locks for about $4.00 each.  Failing that, the old dowel in the window track will stop many crooks.
There have been a number of Telstra/Bigpond/Microsoft computer scams occurring lately.  Telstra, Bigpond or Microsoft (or any other similar business) will never call you to advise you of a problem with your computer.  I have also received reports of callers threatening to disconnect your internet if you refuse them access to your computer.  If you receive such a call, hang up immediately.  Do not provide access to your computer or give your credit card details to the person.  If you are unsure whether the call is genuine, hang up and call the business back using the phone number from the Yellow Pages phone book, website or your account statement.
