STAY SAFE <\/strong><\/p>\n

SCAM – <\/strong>We have recently had a number of victims of a scam in the Penarth\/Barry area. Each time these individuals were called and asked to withdraw large amounts of cash from the bank. Each time they alleged they were police officers and not to tell anyone. If the bank ask why you need the money they are giving the victims a number of excuses, e.g. new kitchen, new car.<\/p>\n

Please let\u2019s encourage everyone to talk openly about Scams. The police will never ask you to take money out. Always contact 101 or 999 but ensure the line is cleared before dialling. (Listen for a dial tone).<\/p>\n

VISITORS <\/strong>– Please be vigilant when letting people into your homes.<\/p>\n

There has recently been a theft in a Barry property, where by a man has alleged to be from the water board. He has entered the property to speak with the resident, whilst another male has entered the property and has stolen a handbag.<\/p>\n

Do not let strangers into your home, ring companies to clarify and always check for ID.<\/p>\n
