‘Water Board’ Hoaxers Warning – Neighbourhood Watch Warning

SINCE Christmas, there has been an increase in the number of distraction burglaries across the Thames Valley, where offenders have stated that they are from ‘The Water Board’.
The usual excuses used are, that it is an EMERGENCY, or that there is a BURST PIPE and entry is needed to TURN OFF THE WATER or RUN THE TAPS.
Please remember, that there is no such thing as the waterboard and residents should be reminded, that under no circumstances should they allow anyone unexpected, entry into their homes.

Please keep an extra look out for elderly and vulnerable neighbours and if you see anyone suspicious in your area or have any incidents to report, please call the police on 08458 505 505.
