Police Update


Reigate and Banstead Police

Safer Neighbourhood Team

 

Dear Residents,

Welcome to the Police Update for the week. 

The message includes personal fraud (Scams), burglaries and vehicle thefts reported between the 22nd August 2024 to 29th August 2024.

Please Note

  • We are asking Reigate and Banstead residents to help us reduce the number of burglary offences in the borough by submitting any video footage (such as CCTV, dashcam, or video doorbell footage) and photographs which show suspicious activity via our suspicious activity portal. The portal is for circumstances where no crime has been reported, but the suspicious behaviour could potentially be related to for example a burglary, theft of a vehicle, or catalytic converter.  Though realistically we may not be able to identify every person in a piece of footage, especially if they have a face covering, every clip feeds into our understanding of the bigger crime picture in your neighbourhood and in many cases and can provide the missing price of information about people, location and behaviours. To submit your images you will need to select Reigate and Banstead Borough from the list on our website link below. To find out more about the portal and submit your footage visit this link: https://surrey.police.uk/suspiciousactivityportal

  • Please report all scams.   Contact details below and by contacting  ActionFraud-
