DS: Risk Warning; Stranger Danger

By
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: 28 March: Extinction Rebellion Demonstration ‘Sound the Alarms’ 10 - 4 pm

By
Hello all, Avon and Somerset Police have informed us of an ‘organised civil disobedience’ event that may take place today, Thursday 28th March, whereby members of Extinction Rebellion and possibly sympathisers are proposing to set off multiple [fire] alarms.  There is no known information on which buildings/when but the assumption is that they will target schools, institutions and public buildings. The Bristol Director Education and Skills has shared this scant information with Bristol schools and nothing more. We haven't heard that it has been distributed more widely so we do so just in case to our Agreement/SLA customers. Fire doesn't give notice of where and when it will occur so our best advice, unless you have a delay on the system that allows checking the status of the issue before the alarm sounders go live, is to take any activation seriously and evacuate. If it turns out to be a hoax, false activation, etc, why not log it as an alternative to your t...

DS Risk Warning: Health - Coronavirus/Covid 19

By
Hello all, We have been asked, and in the light of yesterday's Government announcement, please find our updated draft risk assessment to hopefully cover many of the issues you are now faced with to make provision for a restricted number of pupils in the categories described, while the majority are asked to stay at home. We appreciate this is a huge challenge and more explanation will be very helpful but it does represent an important contribution to helping flatten the curve of infection and protect the vulnerable as far as possible.  In the mix you have more issues to take into account and handle sensitively such as staff who live with the vulnerable, have vulnerabilities themselves, on top of those who indeed already have it themselves, who in the vast majority will shake it off over 7 days and will then be available for work and resistant to further infection, of course. COVID-19: Advice and guidance for small businesses and the self-employed LAST ...

Delegated Services Risk Warning: Weather; Snow and Ice

By
Hello all, I have just watched the local forecast with interest and await the Met Office web site catching up with it! What was said/shown has been updated with elements of more significance. It appears that there is now potential for snow showers to start across our patch from lunchtime but without major impact. As the afternoon goes on the showers look to then merge into longer spells of snow, which then in the evening becomes persistent somewhere along the M4 ish, and to the north of it before lessening off past midnight. NB: Accumulations estimates vary significantly from the light dusting to perhaps up to 8 cm with elevation. Timings are also in flux so we are advised to check again for updates on a regular basis. I will do this and keep you posted. On this basis a prompt get away at the end of the pupil day for all would look to be appropriate. At the moment I stick with 'curtain time' early Friday morning to see whether it's business as close to normal and on a...
