In the UK Fraud now accounts for 40% of all reported crime, and indivdual people are defrauded of a total of £7 billion a year. Don’t be one of them! The South West Regional Organised Crime Unit have produced a very useful booklet giving useful tips on how not to be a victim. You can read the booklet by clicking on this link.
Following a spate of problems on Saturday night/Sunday morning at Parklands, the Police will be stepping up patrols over the whole of the Green and Parklands, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. They will confiscate any alcohol, take names and follow up.
You can play your part by reporting any crime or anti-social behaviour directly to the Police – unfortunately it is not sufficient just to put something on Facebook. Our Police Community Support Officer, Jason Wyatt, says that it is very important to report directly to the Police, so that all incidents are properly recorded.
You can make your report by calling 101. As that is very busy at the moment, PCSO Wyatt suggests that you make an on-line report instead.
In an emergency, you should still call 999, as on-line reports may not be read for several hours.
The June 2021 edition of Wembdon’s Parish Paper has arrived from the printers and our team of friendly volunteers will be popping copies through all the Wembdon letterboxes very shortly.
Meanwhile, if you are impatient to read it, or you don’t live in Wembdon, you can download it from our website.
You will also find back numbers of the Parish Paper on our site.
