Possible Scam
If you find a large amount of oil has appeared beneath or around your vehicle (particularly while parked in your driveway or outside your home) please be aware it could be a scam.
On 9th January Police had a report of a unknown male approaching a vehicle parked on a driveway in Long Drive. The male decanted a liquid, later believed to be engine oil, under the front of the vehicle, then casually walked off. We think the male arrived and left in a small hatchback, but have no other details at this time.
It is likely the male's actions are to dupe vehicle owners into thinking their car has developed a major oil leak and in need of urgent repair. We have no further details at this time.
If you have any information that you think may help us regarding this incident (particularly residents of Long Drive who may have CCTV footage that captured the offenders vehicle) please call the non-emergency number on 101 and quote ref: URN 1396 09/01/2019.
We do not wish to alarm you, but you may be able to help us to catch those responsible and assist in preventing further offences in your neighbourhood.
