Police request help to identify potential crime sites


A message from Carseldine Crime Prevention:

At approximately 1735hrs on Thursday 30th May 2013 on Lacey Rd (near the intersection with Beams Rd) Carseldine a woman was raped while walking home.  This offence was facilitated by utilising the overgrown footpath as cover for the offender.

It is requested that whilst out and about in the Carseldine division particular attention is paid to public areas such as parks, walkways and footpaths for areas that are overgrown and pose a risk to public safety.  Should any such areas be observed please notify me ASAP so I can arrange for the council to rectify.

The QPS needs your help to identify areas that have the potential to become sites of crime due to overgrown foliage, poor lighting etc.

****

In our own NHW area, our Area Co-ordinator has been following up with Cr Fiona King’s office about the installation of lights in Huxtable Park, as mentioned at our last Update meeting.
Cr King’s office has advised that there has been a hold up with supply of light poles but they anticipate having the lights operating by 30 June.
