Residents are warned to remain vigilant at all times after two incidences in Kenilworth over the weekend (10 September) where a bogus caller visited properties.

The incidences occurred at properties situated at Best Avenue and Lulworth Park, Kenilworth. A male person dressed in a high visibility vest called at properties stating he was a delivery driver from Amazon.

The rang the doorbell, possibly to ascertain if anyone was home. The householder answered the door and the caller said he was looking for a property for which he gave a number that does not exist. The householder shut the door and reported the incident also providing vehicle details the caller was associated with.

At a visit to another property the caller asked if the householder was waiting for a delivery. A second male was observed nearby together with a white pick up type vehicle.

It would appear that these visits maybe persons checking if a property is unoccupied. In both cases householders sent these persons on their way promptly, took what details they safely could and reported the incidences to police.

If you are in any doubt about an unexpected caller then don’t open the door. Please look out for elderly or vulnerable people that you may know or care for.

Please remember that if you see or experience anything suspicious please report it immediately to Warwickshire Police.

Please be aware that between 2300hrs and 23.300hrs on Sunday 11 September 2022 offenders kicked the door in at sporting premises situated on Crew Lane, Kenilworth.

The premises were entered and left insecure, it is not clear what, if anything, at this stage has been stolen.

This is incident 006 of 12 September 2022

If you think you may have seen or heard anything related to this incident, or have any information concerning it please contact Warwickshire Police on 101 or alternatively call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111

Kenilworth Watch, Warwickshire Police, Eydens Locksmiths & Security & Ultion Locks have decided to postpone the planned “Keeping your Kenilworth Home Safe event that was due to take place at the Holiday Inn on Sunday 11 September 2022.

In doing so we all express our respect for the life, service and dedication of HM Queen Elizabeth II and for her passing we now mourn.

We’d like to emphasise the event is being postponed NOT cancelled. 

We will announce a new date and details as soon as we are able to do so.

We send our best wishes to King Charles III.

PLEASE MAKE A NOTE and put next Sunday morning in your diary.

That’s 1030am to 1pm on Sunday 11th September 2022

That’s when KENILWORTH WATCH’s special event for the town’s residents occurs at the Holiday Inn, The Square, Kenilworth.

In a unique event across Warwickshire, we have lined up some senior security experts who you can talk to, question and discuss your home and vehicles and how best to protect them. One of the reasons we have arranged this event is because we know there is a great deal of confusion around what is the best security to have.

The reality is the answer is unique to each householder, and those at the event can help you determine if you are already covered or, if not, what’s the best solution and what is not worth spending money on. 

There will be demonstrations at the event, which will help residents understand what works well and what is not so good. 

Let us be clear this will NOT be a commercial “selling’ event. Of course if residents attending wish to pursue a service or product, they are free to do so.

Kenilworth’s Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) will also be present and will be offering a free bicycle marking service. It’s also an opportunity to meet some of the town’s police officers. We are volunteers and have arranged this after several residents asked us if we could put something on where they could come and see and hear more about effective security so they could reassure themselves about the right things to do.

We want as many people as possible to come along and meet those we have arranged to have available to the community for advice. 

Thanks to its generosity and support towards the local community, the Holiday Inn, at The Square, Kenilworth will host the event on Sunday 11th September 2022, between 1030am and 1 pm.

We are looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible.
