thefts from L&Q Acton Gardens development.
Hi there,I would be interested to hear from anyone who lives in the new Acton Gardens development on Bollo Bridge Road about any incidents of bike thefts (or indeed any other theft).I have now had two bikes nicked from inside the ostensibly "secure" bike stores, and I believe I have found some systemic weaknesses with the building security which I would like to discuss with L&Q - assuming they deign to return my calls. I understand there have been other thefts of bikes from the development as well.The Police told me that they may treat these as burglary rather than simple theft, because it requires the perp to gain access to somewhere they didn't have permission to enter, or the use of force to enter.They also mentioned that they have little information on thefts from this development, possibly because people are not reporting them. If you've had anything pilfered, I would encourage you to take the time to report it - yes, it's inconvenient going to the Police station and L&Q offices - but if no-one reports these incidents the Police won't be able to take any action, and nothing will get done.I would be very interested to hear people's views - thanks for your time.Jon.
