Over the last few weeks there have been reports from the Witley/Milford and Charterhouse area about a male calling door to door offering wheelie bin cleaning services. This male offers to clean bins after they have been emptied and asks for £20 to cover a number of cleanings. The male then does not return to clean bins and offers a range of excuses why he is not able to carry out the work.
Unfornately, the male is plausible and very pleasant, and gives a home address in Horsell, Woking. He has provided documentation stating the Waverley Borough Council has given approval for his work, which is not true as Waverley do not endorse specific traders. He also carries a piece of paper which he claims is signed by a Surrey police officer. This is also a fake document, as we do not approve traders to operate.
This male is already under investigation by Surrey trading standards, and also by our colleagues in Woking.
Please could anyone approached by this man, or by any other trader you may have suspicions of please contact Surrey police on 0845 125 2222

From the Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinator
Dear Coordinators,
For Circulation Please; the message below was recently received from one of our coordinators in Haslemere
" My wife has just taken a call allegedly from SKY TV saying that our boxes need to be changed at a cost of £60. She thought that the call was not genuine and basically told them to go away.
Using 1471 the number was withheld, I then contacted SKY who confirmed that they had not made any call and that they do not ask for £60 to replace any boxes. "
Clearly someone was trying to get money for nothing.
Regards,
Richard Terry
NHW Manager for Waverley |

Crime Prevention in Churt. Please could we circulate the below information on the web page. There has now been several incidents of theft in Churt including shed and outbuilding breaks where expensive items of gardening equipment have been taken. Some advice from PC Will DAVIES is;
- Lock your sheds and outbuildings with a good lock or padlock.
- Cover the inside of shed and outbuilding windows so that unwanted persons cannot see what items you have stored.
- Use outside lighting / sensor lighting.
- Where suitable or possible alarms should be fitted.
- Small shed alarms can be purchased from hardware shops, these are very good and are very reasonably priced.
- Chain items together and property mark them with a UV pen - include your postcode and house number (Full addresses are fine).
- Photograph your property and write down serial numbers makes and models.
- Report suspicious activity to police / gather as much information as possible but do not put yourself in danger.
Police patrols in Churt have now been increased. Many Thanks Will
