Shed Breaks Earlswood
Posted With Permission

Inc 202 & 258 23/09/2012
We have had 2 reports of shed breaks along Shutt Lane Earlswood. It is believed the breaks took place @3am Sunday morning. The time was logged by a alarm that was monitoring 1 of the sheds. From this one nothing was taken, however petrol driven equipment was removed from the other.
There were reports of a male acting suspicious around the area on Thursday evening, but there was no trace on a area search conducted on Police arrival.
We are further forward in the process of obtaining shed alarms to be made available at manufacturers cost price, and hope to have these very soon for interested residents.
Door to door sellers
There has been an increase recently in the cloth sellers selling from a holdall. These people are usually ex-offenders trying to make a living.
Anybody knocking doors to sell products need a Pedlars Certificate, and below is the legislation that gives you the right to ask to see it, and the sellers obligation to show it on request. The certificate is different to the i.d.badge they carry, and has not been replaced by any other document.
I would recommend to any resident being paid a visit by such a sales person to state the following.
" I have been advised by my local Policing team to request to see your current Pedlars Certificate, before I will consider buying anything, if you do not have one, the Police have asked me to call them and let them know ".

    Legislation To Demand to See Certificate
Section 17 of the Pedlars Act 1871 requires a pedlar to produce his certificate to certain persons on demand. Refusal to do so would be an offence.
17 Any pedlar  shall at all times, on demand, produce and show his certificate  to any of the following persons; (that is to say,)
    1 Any justice of the peace; or
    2 Any
     constable  or officer of police; or
    3 Any person to whom such pedlar offers his goods for sale; or
    4 Any person in whose private grounds or premises such pedlar is found.
In other areas where the sales person has been challenged, once they are aware they will be asked for the certificate, they have moved on to another softer touch area to ply there wares.
For your info the certificates last 12 months and the dates are clearly marked. Having an out of date certificate is the same as not having one.
I have a limited number of "We do not buy at the door, do not knock or ring the bell" stickers that are available on a first come basis.

Crime Stats Alcester North October 2020

Well as crime has been on my mind for the last couple of weeks and it has always appeared difficult to find any meaningful crime stats. I have at long last found the information used by the Police lurking on the Police.uk website. It is not live data and runs approx 6 to 8 weeks in arrears for example October 2020 is now visible. This is a totally interactive tool, easy to use and has a great dashboard, what is good about this tool it also provides outcomes. The default is for the whole of the Alcester North area however it is simple to find out where the hot spots are and which crimes have been included. So for those of you keeping an eye on the stats this may well be the tool to use. To get to the information  just click the link  below Alcester North Crime Data
