DS: Risk Warning; Stranger Danger

Hello all,

This refers to Yatton particularly where there have been a number of incidents, however, it is worth sharing more widely in case this individual is from, or appears elsewhere in the area. You may have a nugget of information that could help?

Investigation under way into sexual offences in Yatton

Added on 09 January 2018 at 11:56
An investigation is under way into four incidents of sexual assault and exposure in Yatton which are being treated as linked.
All the incidents have happened over the past two days and involve a man inappropriately touching females or exposing himself to members of the public.
We’re issuing a description of the offender and are appealing for information from the public.
The man we want to identify is white, in his late teens/early twenties, of slim or medium build and wearing jogging bottoms or dark jeans, a grey hooded top and possibly a black scarf or balaclava.
The investigation involves the following incidents:

*At about 9.20pm on Sunday (January 7), a man exposed himself to a woman in High Street.

*A 33-year-old woman was sexually assaulted after a man grabbed her in Stowey Road at about 6.15pm yesterday (January 8).

*A man inappropriately grabbed a 14-year-old girl in Henley Park at just after 7pm yesterday.

*At just after 7.30pm yesterday, a man exposed himself to a group of teenage girls in a park off Rectory Way.
DS Adam Knee, who is leading the investigation, said: “These incidents are clearly very concerning and we’re doing everything we can to identify the offender as soon as possible.
“We’re treating all four offences as linked due to their close proximity to each other and the similar descriptions given of the offender.
“Community reassurance patrols are being carried out in the local area and we have officers carrying out CCTV and house-to-house enquiries.
“We’ll be fully supporting all the victims and keeping them updated as this investigation progresses.
“If you have any information on who may be responsible or if you recognise the description we’ve issued, please call us.”
If you can help, please call 101 and give the call handler the reference number 5218005648

DS Risk Warning: Cyber Critical Update

By
  Critical Update With thanks to our NPs the S W Cyber Resilience Centre, we bring you their updated advice. Please pay close attention to it, regardless that it flows from the attacks on the retail sector. The approach taken can be applied anywhere! The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has issued a critical warning following a wave of cyber attacks on major UK retailers including M&S, Co-op and Harrods. These incidents appear to involve criminals impersonating IT help desks to trick staff into revealing login credentials, a technique known as social engineering.   We’re issuing this urgent message to all SWCRC members to raise awareness and encourage immediate action.   What’s happening?   A group calling itself DragonForce has contacted the BBC to claim responsibility for recent breaches. Their tactics include:        •     Phoning IT staff pretending to be locked-out employees       •     Calling or messaging staff pretending to be from internal IT h...

Delegated Services Risk Warning: Whirlpool dryers recall

By
Hello all, If you have one of these you will have probably already spotted the warnings and concerns, but just in case the BBC are reporting today: The government is to issue an "unprecedented" recall notice of up to 500,000 Whirlpool tumble dryers which pose a fire safety risk. It comes four years after Whirlpool issued a warning after it found its Hotpoint, Creda and Indesit dryers had a fault which needed fixing. The fault was blamed for at least 750 fires over an 11-year period, according to the government. Whirlpool said safety was its "number one priority". It urged anyone still owning an affected to dryer to contact the company immediately on 0800 151 0905. A spokeswoman added: "In the meantime, anyone with an affected dryer that has not been modified  should unplug it and not use it  until the modification has been completed." An estimated 5.3 million dryers were sold in the UK, but it is thought up to 500,000 could still be in use. ...

DS Risk Warning: UK raises terror threat level to ‘severe’ following Vienna attack

By
  Home Secretary Priti Patel has confirmed the escalation of the UK terror threat level from "substantial" to "severe" following an attack in Vienna that left at least three dead. The change means that an attack on UK soil is now deemed "highly likely". The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre has changed the UK terror threat level from substantial to severe. This is a precautionary measure and is not based on any specific threat. The potential is for UK based 'lone wolfs' to be emboldened to take action themselves which could take place anywhere in the UK. We are asked to continue to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police on 999 or the anti-terrorist hotline: 0800 789 321. If your information does not relate to an imminent threat, you can also contact MI5 . What the threat levels mean: Threat levels are designed to give a broad indication of the likelihood of a terrorist attack. LOW means an attack is highly unlikely MODERATE ...
