Neighbourhood Watch

 

Please call the police on 101 if you see something suspicious or 999 if a crime is in progress

 

 

 

This is about crime and anti-social behaviour in Pluckley and surrounding areas.

The Pluckley Neighbourhood Watch (NHW) is run by a coordinator who is currently Martin Chambers,  a Pluckley resident.  This is a voluntary position which has been held by Martin since September 2014.

Crimestoppers

Crimestoppers is an independent UK charity working to stop crime. This is what Crimestoppers say:

• Tell us about the crime/criminal
• Calls are not recorded or traceable
• You will not have to make a statement or go to court
• No one will ever know you called
• Your anonymity is guaranteed.

CountryEye

Please download the CountryEye smartphone app here  Take a photo with the CountryEye app on your phone of anything you need to report rural crime, animal and wildlife crime, poaching, hare-coursing, theft, fly tipping.  The image is geotagged such that the mapping info is attached to the photo.

A CountryEye pilot will be carried out in Pluckley and surrounding villages soon.
