A post on Kempton Park Community Forum’s Facebook page warns residents of a new tactic used by criminals.
The criminals dress in black and cover themselves in black bags. They then get into your property or wait on the pavement.
When police or the neighbourhood watch drive past, they crouch down on the ground to make it look like a full black rubbish bag.
If you ignore the “black bags” and drive past, the criminals then either wait for the home owner to come home to hijack them or proceed to break into the house.
Be aware and beware of “moving” black bags, particularly on rubbish removal days.
