Crime: 24 October 2014

 
I have also attached a fraud poster and a tri fold leaflet.  The poster is A3, but I am having them printed in both A4 and A5.  If you have a notice board, or connected to a doctors surgery, day centre or any other publicly accessible building, could you please ask if they could put one up ?  We can only get to so many people – we need everyone to see one of these all the time, to remind them.  I can also supply the tri fold leaflets.  Just email me at my police email to say how many you need.
 
We have with the help of the RBWM Community wardens been to every bank / building society & post office in RBWM to update them with our current frauds and ask them to be really aware if say anyone over 60 goes in and without notice asks to withdraw large amounts of cash – particularly if this would be unusual practice for them.
 
Not only do we have to be on the alert for Courier Frauds, but also cases of bogus builders !

MEMBERS’ COMMENTS:
 
Earlier this year we had some discussion re drones used in residential areas.  It proved to be rather controversial with both supporters and opponents.
 
I have now received this from Ron:
 
Good morning Jeff,

You may recall my quest earlier in the summer for information about the legality of flying drones.
 
In my case the drone was in Walker Road and apart from the serious safety implications, it invaded my privacy.  Well, I finally managed to get an answer, which may be of interest to you and fellow members and I have copied and pasted it below.
 
It has quite far reaching implications; for example, drones cannot be legally flown above public areas such as the Rugby grounds and Braywick Park, if folk are about; even walking their pooch or visiting a grave.
 
The information comes from the BBC NEWS channel on Google and if you have a spare minute, you may wish to “Google” it and look at some of the pictures etc.
 
Drones and the law

Unless CAA permission has been granted the pilot cannot:

• Fly over or within 150m (492 ft) of a congested area
• Fly over or within 150m (492 ft) of an organized open-air assembly of more than 1,000 persons
• Fly within 50m (164 ft) of any vessel, vehicle or structure which is not under the control of the person in charge of the aircraft
• Fly within 50m (164 ft) of any person
