Robberies

Robberies have dropped to 8 cases (18 cases in September 2009)In general the crime rate in USJ has remained stable, but has shifted to areas that do not have active Neighbourhood Watch Groups or GnG schemes.

The criminals will find less places to operate, which would make them more vulnerable to detection by the Polis, just make sure we are all vigilant to alert the Polis when we notice suspicious characters in our neighbourhood.

Polis advisory - we must fight back

We need to make sure that criminals are not even safe in their own homesIf you notice your neighbours behaving suspiciously i.e.

a) sleeps all day and is not around in the night

b) no apparent work regiment

c) coming back home at odd hours of the day

d) frequent visitors at odd hours of the day.

e) suspicious odours etc

Give the Polis a call and get them to investigate. There have been cases where information by alert neighbours have helped Polis in apprehending criminals in their homes.

Polis patrol with residents
