Hi Elisabeth, Just went through the Combined Crime Report and as there is no record of the incident in your road. I would appreciate you if you could send me the particulars such as:
Date, Time, Address including Street number, and whatever particulars are available. If you prefer you can send it to me direct in confidence. Crime strategies can only be made on data available.
