Fraudsters are texting members of the public offering a tax rebate. The text message contains a link to a website and requests to provide personal information, such as bank account information, to claim the nonexistent rebate.

Good afternoon,
Unfortunately over the past week there has been a number of burglaries in residents sheds and outbuildings in the Kingsley ward. The incidents have taken place in Kingsley and Hatchmere. Some expensive push bikes have been taken and also a motor vehicle from a drive way. The offenders have entered a property and taken the keys from a downstairs room. Please make sure whether you are in or out of your home that all doors and windows are locked.
We are advising all residents to make sure all sheds, garages and outbuildings are locked securely at all times and any expensive items are out of sight to anyone.
If you have any concerns or issues please email PCSO Phil Brandreth on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Fraudsters are targeting members of the public who are expecting to make a payment for property repairs. The fraudsters, via email, will purport to be a tradesman who has recently completed work at the property and use a similar email address to that of the genuine tradesman. They will ask for funds to be transferred via bank transfer and once payment is made the victims of the fraud soon realise they have been deceived when the genuine tradesman requests payment for their services.
Protect Yourself:
If you believe that you have been a victim of fraud you can report it online at: http://www.actionfraud.

Chester Rural End of Month Newsletter March 2016
PS Ian Wilson
Beat Management Sergeant – Frodsham & Chester Rural.
Welcome to my second edition of the Chester Rural Police update as the Chester Rural Sergeant. I will endeavor to both circulate the Newsletter monthly at the end of each month and attach to the rural section of the website. Within the newsletter I will update you on crime / anti-social behavior in your local areas, as well as highlighting and celebrate what my staff are / have been doing to support communities and address the on-going issues. I will also highlight Chester Rural’s major priorities for the next month.
I am trying to communicate with as many of our rural residents as possible with these updates and I am looking to increase our subscribers to Cheshire Alert, so please highlight the advantages of signing up to friends/relatives in the area. Also, (as I know many of you already do) please also print-off and circulate the newsletters to those who don’t have computer / e-mail access.
As well as the regular Cheshire Alert updates, please be aware of further rural information on the Chester Local Policing Unit twitter page (@PoliceChester) and the Cheshire Police website (www.cheshire.police.uk).

The main issues continue to be parking around school drop off and pickup times. PCSO Brandreth is working with the Head Teacher at Aston by Sutton school to devise ways where we can prevent parents parking on yellow zig-zags for dropping off and in overall general road safety and road awareness. High visibility presence during these times is a main goal.
