Homewatch Alert

During the afternoon of 27.2.2013 a white male, approximately 5ft 7 ins, slim build with dark hair wearing a uniform similar to a PCSO uniform was sighted trying the conservatory door in the Clifton area of Alderley Edge. When disturbed the male made off.

All residents are asked , if they are unsure of who a person is, to ask for identification or contact 101

The incident took place a few hours after a burglary was reported on the same road and it is believed the male was bogus.

Homewatch Alert

I have received the following from a Homewatch member who wished me to circulate this warning :

A neighbour has reported to me that when she carried some shopping from her car into her house someone stole carrier bags with goods purchased from M & S and made off with them. Her car was parked on her driveway, but she had left the boot lid open (which I’m sure a good number of people do – including myself.) You may think it worthwhile mentioning this to other Homewatch Schemes as a warning

The vehicle was parked in the Grangeway area of Handforth. Please be warned !!
