Kings Cross Environment

With the closing of the Blessed Sacrament Church's Community Hall, the Calenonian Ward's Safer Neighbourhood's Panel will be moving to a new venue at King's Place.

This ongoing panel attended by local residents and chaired by our Councilor Paul Convery, meets with members of our Safer Neighbourhood's Policing/Community Support Team to discuss local activities and set local policing priorities for the Ward.

The next meeting will be taking place on 18 March in the Wenlock Room on the lower level of King's Place, the large glass builing located at the intersection of Goods Way and York Way.

The new meeting room has been donated by King's Place as part of their ongoing efforts to build stronger ties with the local community.  For those of you who have never visited the building this is a great opportunity to take a look inside and attend an important local meeting.  Download map and directions – Download Map

The Bulletin Board has receved emails requesting help from the general public who might know something about the incidents mentioned below.  We thought we would help by passing these request along to our readers.

Stolen school mini-bus

Islington Police are appealing for the public’s help to identify a man in connection with the theft of a mini-bus from a school in the N7 area of Islington.

On 23 November 2009, an unknown man went to the school, purporting to be there to pick up the school bus to be serviced. The keys were handed to him and he  made off with the minibus. When the school called the service station to find out when the minibus would be returned they discovered that the man who had taken the keys in the morning was not from the service depot and that he had in fact stolen the bus.

At 13:43, on 23 November, a man was caught on CCTV at a service station in Hornsey Rise, N19 where he obtained petrol and drove off without paying.  The minibus was later found abandoned in Albany Street, NW1 on 24 November.

Police are keen to speak to anyone who can identify this man. If you have any information call PC Darren Rose in the Burglary Squad on 020 7421 0150 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Dog Attack

Officers from Islington CID are appealing for witnesses to come forward after a guide dog was attacked by another dog in Caledonian Road, N1, on 27 February 2010.

Between 10am -11am, the victim, who is partially sighted and aged in his mid 30s, was walking past William Hill Bookmakers in Caledonian Road when a dog, which was apparently not on its leash, attacked his guide dog.

The victim’s dog was bitten on the ear and required veterinary treatment. He has now fully recovered.

Although the victim could not see the other dog or its owner, he heard passers by saying that the attacking dog was not on its lead.

The dog is described as being similar in size to the victim’s dog, a Labrador.

Due to the victim’s limited vision he has not got a description of the suspect or the dog involved.

If you have any info on this incident, please get in touch with Investigating Officer Detective Constable Sam Harris in confidence on 0207 421 0195 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
