After my article last month I got an amazing amount of reports from people who had experienced break-ins in their cars. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to report those incidents. Even if NOTHING is taken and you are not making an insurance claim (due to not having insurance for instance) please let me know. It appears we DO have a problem in the new area as well as around Rame Road and Marae Road.
I would like to get as many cars to the North Shore Policing Centre (Off Constellation Drive, Mairangi Bay) for fingerprinting especially if the weather has been good overnight. To organise the fingerprinting phone the main station 4886200 and ask for the SOCO (fingerprinting) department to make an appointment asap. Community Patrols and extra Police Patrols around the area can also be increased if we are made aware of it.

I know I am repeating myself but the message just does not seem to get through as to how  important reporting is. I often hear things way after they happen and often it is too late to take any good action.

With so many new houses in the new area and the problems we seem to have at the moment re the above we will try and set up some more neighbourhood watches. A public meeting will be held in the community hall in November and a date will be publicised in the next newsletter.
It will be a good to see a great turnout. Don't forget we have the summer holidays coming up and neighbours are your best security and help in regards to mail. etc.

Don't forget, I am at the Greenhithe Firestation most Thursdays from 10am-12noon to answer any questions or discuss your worries.

Keep safe
