Fake scam notice doing the rounds
Police have received numerous emails about a scam doing the rounds about a
company called PDS (Parcel Delivery Service) where callers to a premium
rate number are being billed large amounts of money for the call.
Please be aware that this scam is nearly 2 years old and at that time
they put out lots of warnings with Trading Standards and within 36 hours it
was shut down. police have no idea why it has resurfaced but if you receive an email about it please delete it and do not forward it on.
Theft of pedal cycles on the increase across Peterborough
Normally Police see quite low levels of cycle theft across Peterborough but
are noticing an increase and with the build up to Christmas when bikes
always appear on the gift list we need to get the message out to all
residents about securing cycles in sheds or garages and keeping locks
on them even when in a shed/garage. Owners can further protect by
registering the frame number either on the Immobilise database system
(www.immobilise.com) which is a free service for all items in the home
Or by property marking the bike with a UV pen or Smartwater if they are
Using this product.
If you would like to join the SmartWater initiative and buy a kit to protect your home, contact the Community Safety Unit at Bridge Street Police Station on 01733 424434 for more details.
Ever wondered what SmartWater is? Ever wondered what SmartWater does? Ever wondered how SmartWater works? Here are some facts which may be able to answer your questions and reveal the benefits of using SmartWater.
ONE: SmartWater is a liquid which is similar to DNA in that it is completely unique. Each SmartWater solution contains a different chemical composition to another SmartWater liquid. Also! floating within the unique liquid are minute metal plates with an individual number stamped on them. Therefore each SmartWater liquid is totally different to another, making it easy to tell them apart.
TWO: Once dry, SmartWater is invisible to the naked eye, but can he revealed using UV lighting. Unlike some property marking systems, SmartWater will not come off through use or wet weather and will not damage items, even delicate ones.
THREE: SmartWater can be used to mark items of property, such as mobile phones, TV’s, and laptops. It can also be used on items as small as jewellery, as well as ceramics.
FOUR: Thieves thrive on the fact that most property is not identifiable. Property stolen during a burglary is often found in the possession of a criminal, yet many of them are released without charge because the property cannot be identified as stolen,
FIVE: Around 400 premises in Peterborough are already protected by SmartWater with many more joining every day.
SIX: Areas throughout the UK that have received SmartWater have en burglaries, with some levels being decreased by 80%
SEVEN: All items of property that are found by the Police are examined for traces of SmartWater using UV Eights. Items that are found to have SmartWater on are then easily returned to its rightful owner.
EIGHT: Every person who is arrested in Peterborough will also be examined for SmartWater. There is a SmartWater room located within the custody suite where people are checked using UV lights.
NINE: Every SmartWater kit comes with enough liquid to mark over 100 items, along with window stickers to advertise that you are protected. The liquid can also be used to mark items outside your home, such as garden tools and vehicle parts.
