Havering Police have opened a pop up shop in the Liberty Centre, Laurie Walk opposite Poundland.  You are all welcome to attend. The shop is open Monday – Saturday between 11am and 2pm.

The shop provides Free Crime Prevention Material. We also have a supply of free Timer Switches  and Window Vibration Alarms while stock lasts for Havering Residents.(Proof of address required)

The Liberty Centre has supplied us with purse chains, which we will fit to shopper’s purses to try and avoid them becoming a victim of crime.

Mr Gwillam our Borough Commander will be attending our shop on Thursday 18th December if you would like to meet him.

Trading Standards will be attending the shop on 11th December if you have any issues you would like to discuss.

It has been arranged for the London Fire Brigade to be in the shop on 8th, 15th and 23rd of December.

Please come along and join us.

If you receive scam mail through the post especially fraudulent items then please send them to FREEPOST SCAM MAIL.

For example people have received scam mail at this time of year before, asking for delivery fees to be sent in order to receive packages.

The means of reporting such attempts to Royal Mail was mentioned on Money Box  so I thought it worth passing on. On the program they suggested simply forwarding the item so I guess the covering letter is optional.

“If you have received items of mail you believe to be from fraudsters please send them to us [Royal Mail], with a covering letter to: FREEPOST SCAM MAIL”
