Press release from:- Police warning on bogus Water Board officials: Distraction burglars posing as bogus Water Board officials are still tricking their way into elderly people's homes despite numerous warnings from Surrey Police to keep them out. Police are reminding residents to be on the lookout for these and other bogus callers following two recent incidents in East Surrey. In the most recent on Monday 18 April a man entered the rear door of a house on Crowhurst Lane in Lingfield at around 3.30 in the afternoon. He told the 86 year old victim that he was there to turn off her water before running up stairs. He removed cash, a wallet, and jewellery and then left the premises. The suspect was described as a white male, approximately 22 years old, around 5'3" tall and was of a thin build. He had short dark hair, a short pointed dark beard and was wearing dark coloured smart clothing. In another similar incident at around 6pm on Wednesday 6 April a man tricked his way into the home of an 87 year old woman and a 71 year old man on North Road in the South Park area of Reigate. He told the victims that there was a problem with the water mains and that he needed them to fill as many pots and pans with water as possible. While they were distracted he removed cash from a handbag and a money box before leaving the property. He was described as a white male around 35 to 40 years old, approximately 6' tall and was of a plump build. He had black brushed back hair, was clean shaven and was wearing a navy suit with a dark coloured shirt. If anyone has any information about either of these crimes they should contact the East Surrey Burglary Team at Reigate Police Station by calling 0845 125 22 22 or else leave information anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Sutton and East Surrey Water offer a £5,000 reward for information which leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for distraction burglaries. Crime Reduction Officer PC John Lee said: "Pretending to be from a utility like 'the Water Board' or 'the Gas Company' is the most common technique that these callous thieves use to trick their way into peoples homes and accounted for around 39% of the distraction burglaries in East Surrey last year. We really need to get the message home to people, particularly the elderly who are the most likely targets, that they should never let anyone into their homes without being shown the correct identification. By following a few simple steps this despicable crime could so easily be avoided. I would also ask people to keep an eye out for elderly or vulnerable neighbours and if you see anything suspicious or if you have had a dubious caller at your door, please report it to the police immediately. Call Surrey Police on 0845 125 22 22 or anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. We need your help to ensure these criminals are brought to justice." Surrey Police advice includes: · Before opening your door, check who's calling. Use a spy-hole
or door chain. · Ask for identification, which should include a photo. · If you are worried don't be afraid to say NO. If you believe the caller is bogus, call Surrey Police.
March 2005 On Monday 21st March 2 cars were broken into. One at Knights Garden Centre
and one in Church Road by the station. Unfortunately these were not reported
very quickly and we did not get a chance to retrieve the CCTV at the station.
The CCTV at Knights was not very clear, but showed a red car that is more
than likely a BMW 3 series. These crimes have not been linked although
I believe they are related. They happened at roughly 15:15.
