Attempted break in

Banwell email alert - attempted break in

The Local beat officer would like to inform you of an incident that has
caused concern. He believes a recent attempted break in to a residential
property in the village may have been an attempt by the offender to obtain
the keys to a high value car, which was parked on the driveway of the
residence.

He asks that Villagers that have high value vehicles on display outside
their homes take extra care with security and consider fitting an alarm to
the house.

Local Police webchat

It's the Liz and Dave show on the police web site (North Somerset)
11/03/2008 15:34

Villages and communities surrounding Weston-super-Mare go under the policing
spotlight next week.

Inspector Liz Keogh and Sergeant David Holtby who head up the neighbourhood
policing team, responsible for the "Worle and villages" area go live on the
police web site to talk to their audiences.

The web chat will take place between 6-7.30pm and will be an opportunity for
people living in the Worle, Milton, Kewstoke. Sandbay, Puxton, Hewish,
Banwell and Bleadon areas to put questions and queries to local
neighbourhood officers.

Inspector Keogh said she hoped many residents would take this opportunity
and log on.

"A lot of the residents may feel sometimes that they don't have as many
opportunities to speak with their police officers as they might like - here
is an excellent chance to put your questions or queries to us.

"We would like to hear from the people of the areas outside
Weston-super-Mare centre about their communities, what their concerns are
and any other issues about crime and disorder they may have. However we will
be more than happy to answer general questions on policing in the
Weston-super-Mare area.

"We would like to hear from people to hear their views on whether they think
we are doing a good job, whether they believe we should be targeting
something in a particular area or want to check what we are doing about a
particular problem. They can contact us on-line and then put their
particular questions and queries.

"If we don't know the answer that evening we will endeavour to find the
information while the live discussion is going on but we will certainly get
back to people as soon as possible after the web chat," confirmed Insp
Keogh.

Force Internet and Multi Media Manager Scott Fulton said: "Web chats are now
held on a regular basis following their successful introduction some four
years ago and are an excellent opportunity for members of the public to take
part in engaging discussions with their local police officers from the
comfort of their own home".

"There is no registration required to join the web chat. Simply log on to
www.avonandsomerset.police.uk/webchat between 6-7.30pm on Wednesday (March
19) to join in.
