The emergency services will be informed and the contractor will notify residents and businesses directly affected by the closure.
All,
This was reported to me by a neighbour. If you witnessed anything suspicious, please advise police on 101
Buglary – House – Heather Road
Approximately 4.15am Sunday 08 December,2019
detached house entered by climbing a wall before smashing rear patio door window.
Only kitchen access gained. A locked connecting door (which the intruders attempted to break down)
prevented access to rest of house; the intruders being disturbed by the occupants.
Three adult males seen hurrying away towards Birchwood Road.
Small items of personal property known to be stolen at this stage.
It is believed that the intruders were looking for the house owner’s car keys.
Appears similar to three men being disturbed in a rear garden at a house in Woodlands Road a few months ago.
I have had a report today concerning the suspicious behaviour of a woman walking the village and looking fairly closely at the houses she passed. A resident did confront her and she said in a foreign (perhaps Eastern European) that she was new to the area and looking for an entrance to the park, despite saying that she had moved into a house near the park. Obviously this sounds suspicious.
I did note that there was a posting on the Binley Woods Social Group facebook page yesterday, that included an excellent photo of the woman that matched the description given to me today and said that she had actually been dropped off (probably on the Rugby Rd) from a white van.
The incident has today been reported to the police via 101.
Should you see anyone/anything of this nature, dial 101 straight away, or if there are any historical sightings of something similar, email rrs@warwickshire.police.uk or call the Warwickshire Police Rugby Rural South and Central team on 01788853851
The next Police Drop In will be on Sunday 2nd June between 10:00 and 10:45 in the service area just off the A46.

A resident on Rugby Road has had their two small garden lion statues which were in the front garden. If anyone sees these abandoned anywhere please contact the police on 101 quoting incident number 150-12-05-2019.
Due to illness, PCSO Dave Banks sends his apologies and will have to cancel today’s mobile police station visit to Broad St Rugby Club car park.

All,
Please see below a warning from a resident that I received today
Subject: Bogus Phone Call
Hi Steve,
Just lately I have been receiving phone calls from my ‘service provider’. The woman, American accent, talks about my IP address being compromised, and action needed to protect it etc etc. Obviously a scam.
This morning at 07. 28, I had a similar, but more soundingly plausible from an English man purporting to represent Offcom. I played along and then a woman, Indian accent, proceeded to go through her patter. When I asked , how did I know that she represented Offcom, and then requested a letter confirming the problem, the phone went dead. The phone number they used was 02088513072, when dialled was unobtainable.
Obviously a scam, but quite a convincing one. It took me a while to decide that it was in fact a scam. Others may not be so wary. I hope that you can us this incident to warn others.
