Trickster Alert!

Trickster Alert!

Dear Neighbours

This morning we have received this warning from a member at the Lycee, opposite Kennington Green.  Our police contact details are below.

Take care

Best wishes

Cathy,

I remember last year you circulated local people about a bogus caller asking for money.

You might like to know that over the weekend the Lycee has had three visits from a woman asking for money. She is in her thirties, with a slight Asian look about her. Her story is that she has a sick daughter and the electricity meter has run out. She claims to live above Tony's Cafe on Kennington Green. On each of her visits to the Lycee she has mentioned the name of the last person she tricked to add to her credibility!

A neighbour alerted me to her scam this afternoon and by chance she buzzed on my door at about 10 pm asking for the exit code for the gate. I called a neighbour and we got the Police but she had escaped.

The Police have her description and will hopefully get cctv footage from here.

It might be worth letting people know about her because when such people start these games they tend to keep working the neighbourhood.

I doubt that she is dangerous but she is a nuisance and needs to be stopped.

Michael
