Bogus Trader Alert

Bogus Trader Alert

We have been notified of a bogus trader operating within the district who recently attended a property in Storrington. The man is operating under the name 'Quality Grinding Service'. 

Please click here to see the flyer that was left at the property in Storrington.

The telephone number on the flyer is not recognised when dialled and does not connect. The man's work has been described as being of a poor quality. Horsham Neighbourhood Policing Team are concerned that this bogus trader maybe using his grinding services as an opportunity to look at peoples properties, sheds and outbuildings.

Please do not trade with this person and report any interactions with him, his description and any vehicle details to us via telephone on 101, via e-mail to 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk or online at www.sussex.police.uk/help-centre/report-something-online

Breaks to sheds at allotments - Security Advice

We have had reports of break-ins to sheds at two allotments within Horsham this week.

Please follow these seven easy steps to make your allotment shed more secure and help prevent loss of valuable items:

1. Store items away from allotments
2. Fit a hasp and staple
3. Replace screws with coach bolts
4. Board up windows
5. Replace or repair damaged or weak shed panels
6. Chain garden tools together and use an anchor point
7. Property mark tools with your postcode and house number

Horsham District Council has produced a helpful guide containing further security advice. There are copies available at Horsham Police Station or a pdf version is available via the Horsham District Council website and the link can be found below:
