URGENT MESSAGE
PERSON POSING AS NHW CO-ORDINATOR
Recently a male person tricked an elderly couple into opening their front door and forced an entry into their premises. He had first approached the couple when they were shopping in Sainsbury’s in New Barnet and mumbled something which they said they did not understand, he walked off and they continued their shopping. Over an hour later when they returned home to Somerset Road the same person was standing outside their block of flats and said he was from neighbourhood watch and wanted to know where they lived. When they opened their front door he barged in past them into their bedroom and demanded to know where they kept their money, saying he wanted to see that their money was safe as there had been reports of burglaries. No money was handed over and the suspect then left the premises and made off in a white car, registration number, make and model unknown.
The suspect is a white male of stocky build, aged about 40, 5 foot 6 inches tall with short brown hair. He had a blotchy face and was clean-shaven. He was wearing a white tee shirt with a blue Nike logo on the front, knee length khaki shorts and beige slip on shoes. He spoke with an Irish accent.
While in the premises the suspect was careful not to touch any item with his hands, he always had a cloth in his hand. He is anxious not to be identified and is probably already known to the police.
If anyone fitting this description is seen dial 999 immediately and quote Barnet police CAD 4161 of 12/6/06.
As the Ringmaster system is not working please distribute this information as widely as you can, particularly to any elderly neighbours for them to be on their guard.
Distributed to BBW committee members and NHW Co-ordinators in Oakleigh Ward.
