Dear Residents, Another incident of theft has been reported just now from Oxford Road a few houses from an incident just a week ago.
This time the owner came home, water running away, tap and 1 metre copper pipe missing, they looking for the stop valve to turn off the water. There are now 18 reported cases since June, Three this month and this is most likely the tip of the iceberg as many residents do not report incidents, thereby preventing counter measures and making Observatory happy shopping grounds for these gentlemen. They do also come back to steal the remainder of pipes. The thieves operate mainly during the week in the afternoon and fewer in the morning when people are at work and pretend the are gardeners, handymen or whatever. Keep an eye on your neighbours property and If in doubt phone Vetus Schola 021 447-1066 Observatory needs you !
