Police security message
The following is a Police Connect message.
With the nights getting darker we are urging you to keep your home safe. LOCK your windows & doors, Keep a LIGHT on and HIDE any valuables.
Most burglaries are committed by opportunist thieves who will search a neighbourhood for homes that look empty or dark, with access to back gardens. They also look out for windows that have been left open and unlocked doors.
By following a few simple steps, you can reduce the chances of becoming a victim of burglary. -
Parking outside schools
Broadland Police are receiving reports from schools and members of the public of inconsiderate and illegal parking outside schools. We are urging those dropping off and collecting children to allow more time before they leave to park somewhere suitable further from the school entrance. Alternatively walk children to school or use a school bus if available. Broadland Police work alongside Broadland Council and Highways to address this on-going issue. Police can be contacted on the 101 number. -

Police warning about bogus callers
Officers have received reports of incidents in the Norwich, Blakeney, Great Yarmouth, Horning, Poringland and Costessey areas. In each case a man has knocked at the door claiming to be there to either read a gas or electricity meter, or to check the boiler.
Police are reminding householders to be vigilant when dealing with cold callers and offer the following advice:
Close and lock the back door before answering the front door.
- Use a spy hole or window to look at the caller before answering the door.
- If you do not recognise the caller, speak to them through the closed door.
- If the caller is selling something or offering work on your home, tell them you are not interested and ask them to leave.
- If they do not leave or you need assistance- call the police.
- If the caller is valid, always ask for proof of identity. Phone the company or organisation the caller claims to be from while the caller waits outside.
- Tell someone you trust about the uninvited callers to your home.
- If necessary, report it to police with a description of the people involved and details of their vehicle if possible.
To report suspicious activity call Norfolk Constabulary on 101. In an emergency always dial 999.

Fake Irish notes
Police are warning retailers to be vigilant after reports of fake Irish notes being used in stores across the county.
There have been a number of reports today (Wednesday 31 August 2016) of fake Irish £20 and £50 notes being handed over at stores in the North Norfolk, Kings Lynn and Great Yarmouth areas.
Retailers are being urged to be vigilant and to take crime prevention measures, such as using a UV light or a testing pen which will indicate whether a note is genuine.

105 for Power cuts
On 6th September a new national phone number “105” will be launched by electricity network operators for customers to call should they need to report or get information about a power cut in their area.
Key points to note about this service are:
- Dialling 105 will put customers through to their local electricity network operator – the company that manages the cables, power lines and substations that deliver electricity into homes and businesses in their area.
- 105 is just one of the ways that customers can contact their electricity network operator. They can also contact them by phone or via their website, and most network operators are on social media too.
- 105 is a free service for people in England, Scotland and Wales.
- Customers can call 105 no matter who they choose to buy electricity from.
- Customers can also call 105 if they spot damage to electricity power lines and substations that could put anyone in danger. If there’s a serious immediate risk, they should call the emergency services too.

101: Police non-emergency number
Norfolk Constabulary is supporting a Home Office campaign reminding the public that they should call 101 if they need to contact their local police for non-emergency issues.
More than three quarters of 999 calls received by the police are for non-emergencies, such as people reporting crimes that are no longer in progress (for example discovering that their home has been burgled or their vehicle has been stolen), or wanting to discuss anti-social behaviour in their local area.
101 is an easy-to-remember number for the public to call the police, and is designed to reduce the number of non-emergency 999 calls. This allows the police to respond more quickly to genuine emergencies, such as when someone is in immediate danger, a crime is happening right now, or a suspect for a serious crime is nearby.
Launched in 2012, 101 covers all police forces across the UK and has replaced individual forces’ local numbers. A call to 101 costs just 15 pence no matter how long your call is. Not only is this cheaper than some forces’ local numbers, the single rate for every call means you know exactly how much your call will cost.
