PC Rebecca Barton

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. |

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
We seem to have had a quieter quarter with just a couple of incidents. There has been a report of a car acting suspiciously in Lowther Road. A young couple was seen parked in a silver car for a long period of time with a lap top computer open. A local resident did wonder if this was some sort of Phishing exercise particularly as they drove off when approached! Our Local Beat Manager was informed and registration noted on the system.
A resident has also reported an aggressive ‘Whippet’ being walked through Danby Wood which attacks other dogs. The police have been informed but please keep your wits about you if walking through the Wood with your own dog. The Neighbourhood Watch and Danby Wood team have also been alerted.
As usual, 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.
