Eaton Rise remains one of the safest and trouble-free areas of the City and, hopefully, it will stay that way. With the introduction of Neighbourhood Watch rather than Homewatch our contacts with the police are now less well defined. Scams and fraud, especially on-line fraud, are a regular national problem and the Neighbourhood Watch page of our web site is frequently updated with details of the latest occurrences.
Neighbourhood Watch recently met with PC Rebecca Barton who is the Beat Manager for Eaton Rise. PC Barton is keen to develop a good working relationship and hopes to attend future meetings and events. |

NEIGHBOURHOOD WHATCH LATEST.
Again it’s been a quiet quarter with no reported incidents. Our Beat Manager, PC Rebecca Barton has moved and will be replaced by PC Louise Proudfoot shortly. In the meantime PC Andy Toes is covering the Eaton beat.
As the normal SNAP (Safer Neighbourhood Action Panel) meeting won’t take place options for some sort of virtual SNAP meeting is being explored.
Inspector Mike Austin says “Please be reassured that in these challenging times we will continue to carry out our policing functions as we have done so in the past and will continue to support and protect the local communities.
Remember you do not have to answer the door to anyone who you do not know, listen to anyone on the telephone who is trying to sell you anything or click on any link from an email that looks suspicious in any way.

CORONAVIRUS SCAM. In recent days, an elderly person living in the north of the county was telephoned by somebody claiming to be from a company called Southern Electric - promising to help them with their electricity bill.
The person was told by the caller that they would visit their home and in exchange for £520 cash, £5,000 would be put onto their electricity bill “as part of helping people through the coronavirus outbreak”.
But for the person’s bank refusing to allow the victim to withdraw that amount of cash the scam may have succeeded.
Chief inspector Craig Miller, of Norfolk Constabulary, said: “It’s great that communities across Norfolk are coming together to help one another during these unprecedented times. However, we sadly know from previous experience that criminals will take advantage of any opportunity for their own means and this situation is no different.

Incidents on the estate
Could we ask that any suspicious activity, particularly anyone walking around the estate looking into properties or driving slowly around is reported to the police. (Police 101 number). A note of the type of vehicle, colour and registration number always helps. Also let me know via email lesrowlands@virginmedia.com as I can back it up with our Beat Officer.
A reminder, just dial 999 if a crime is in progress, or alternatively, if non urgent, phone 101 or Crime stoppers on 0800 555 111 which is always 100% anonymous .
Remember you do not have to answer the door to anyone who you do not know, listen to anyone on the telephone who is trying to sell you anything or click on any link from an email that looks suspicious in any way.
