1. Terror alert call to Watch groups
Neighbourhood Watch members have been urged to stay vigilant following the car bomb incidents in London and Glasgow.
Tory Shadow Home Affairs Minister, Edward Garnier MP, told Neighbourhood Watch volunteers at the weekend that the public had a vital part to play at this time by remaining alert.
He praised the work of Neighbourhood Watch and the importance of having groups of people from local communities who could be relied upon to be the eyes and ears of the police.
The UK terror alert level was raised to 'critical' amid fears of possible further attacks.
Police have detained a number of suspects in connection with the Cherokee Jeep that crashed in flames at the main terminal building at Glasgow Airport, and the failed car bomb attempts in London.
Here are the telephone numbers to use if you have information to report.
999 – in an emergency.
0800 789 321 – police anti-terrorist hotline for anyone with tip-offs or confidential information about possible terrorist activity.
020 7930 9000 – MI5 phone line if you know something that you think may be a threat to national security.
Mr Garnier told neighbourhoodwatch.net: "Neighbourhood Watch has a serious part to play in helping the police in detecting and deterring crime.
"The police cannot do everything on their own and the courts cannot convict offenders without evidence so we look to groups like Neighbourhood Watch to play their part as responsible and well-motivated citizens."
