| The latest from Hounslow Borough Police: Please be vigilant of your surroundings and the people around you when intending to go to the Cash machine or Bank to withdraw some money. A new method is being used to distract people in order to take their money from them, by a person approaching the victim stating they have something spilt on the back of their clothes and starts wiping it off. Whilst this is going on other people appear also trying to help the victim, but in actual fact the group are all together and take the belongings from the unsuspecting victim. If you have any information or have been a suspect of such crime, please ring 101 or contact the Serious Acquisitive Crime Team on 020 8247 6650. |
