Firstly I would like to inform all Colgate/Faygate and Rusper residents that I have returned to become your local PCSO, unfortunately you are sharing me with Holbrook. I have also some good news that on Sunday 21/02/2010 after the quick actions of a resident who reported to the police that she had seen a quad bike and motorbike going into the wooded area around the forest. The youths were stopped and the quad bike was seized due to having no insurance and the driver reported. We hope after the quick actions from the resident and the police the message might get back to others not to use the forest area. On a not so good note the area has suffered a couple of large diesel thefts where by tanks have been drilled and drained. So please be extra vigilant and report anything suspicious to the police. Please feel free to e-mail me on tracy.bicknell@sussex.pnn.police.uk or call my mobile 07748 402145 if you would like to discuss anything. PCSO Tracy Bicknell Police Community Support Officer

Dear NHW Member,

Last night three males were seen climbing on the roof of Shelley School In Wickhurst Lane but were scared off by a local resident. It is unknown what their intention was and the school has been advised.

Also this week, a resident in Wickhurst Lane reported damage to her front door which may or may not have been some one attempting to break in to the property.

Police are currently conducting extra patrols in the village but I would still urge all members to be extra vigilant and report suspicious behaviour to the Police immediately on 0845 60 70 999.

Crime Prevention Advise

Do not leave anything on display in your car.

Take all of your belongings with you when you leave your car (this also relates to caravans )

Consider installing electronic immobilisers or mechanical immobilisers such as steering-wheel locks and alarms.

Fit locking wheel nuts.

Further information about alarms, immobilisers and other security devices by e-mailing the Motor Insurance Repair Research Centre at "mailto:security@thatcham.org"

or telephoning the Sold Secure Helpline on 01327 264687 .

Keep your car keys safe.

When you leave your car to unload your shopping for example, always remove the ignition key and lock all the doors. It only takes a few seconds for a thief to jump into your car and drive away.

On icy mornings never leave your car unattended with the engine running to warm up or defrost the windows.

At home , always keep your car keys in a safe place which is out of sight and away from windows and doors.
