Burglary was mentioned at the Perry Vale Ward Assembly last week. They said there has been an increase in burglaries in the ward, although it wasn't the highest in the borough. Apparently there's a pattern of accessing the property from the rear, during the day, and particularly on Fridays.

I also recently heard that a woman was mugged on Woolstone Road. A man stopped her to ask for directions and then pulled off the necklace from around her neck.

It's sad when you have to be wary of people asking you for help.
