Has anyone else noticed a few dodgy characters hanging around the Co-op on Church Road and the path by Tiptree Recreation Ground in the evenings lately? My neighbour had a shed door tried on off Maypole Road last week, so I’m thinking of adding a motion light and a better padlock. If you’ve seen anything or know if the pub on The Avenue has caught anything on CCTV, can you comment with times/areas so we can keep an eye out?

I walked the dog past the Rec about half 8 on Tuesday and there was a lot of shouting and hanging about near the path, didn’t feel right. Might be worth letting the Co-op know as well in case they can keep an eye out in the evenings.

Yeah I’ve noticed a couple of lads hanging about by the Co-op on Church Road around 9–10pm the last few nights, then cutting through towards the Rec. Might be worth asking the pub on The Avenue if they can check their CCTV for that time.

I was in the Co-op on Church Road about 6pm yesterday and it all seemed normal, but I did notice a few bikes dumped by the entrance to the path near the Rec when I walked past later. Do you know roughly what time the shed door was tried on Maypole Road?

Not seen anyone myself by the Co-op, but there’s been a white van parked up by the path near Tiptree Rec most evenings this week around 7ish with two blokes milling about. Was your neighbour’s shed on Maypole Road done early evening or later on?

Has anyone else noticed a couple of lads trying car doors along Station Road near the Co-op late evening this week? I’m on River Crouch Walk most mornings and it’s usually peaceful, but a neighbour on Chapel Road said a shed was turned over overnight. Might be worth making sure side gates are locked and leaving a light on if you’re near The Royal Corinthian or the park by St Mary’s. If you’ve seen anything similar (or got CCTV that might help), can you comment where and what time?

Has anyone else noticed a couple of dodgy-looking lads hanging about near Leigh Broadway and the alley by the Co-op towards Station Road in the evenings? I’m usually fine walking back from Leigh Station after a pint at the Peter Boat, but I’ve started sticking to the lit bits past Library Gardens instead. Would be good to know if anyone’s reported anything recently or if there are safer routes people recommend.

Had a bit of a wobble this week after hearing about a couple of phone snatches near Loughton Central, especially around the cut-through by Station Road and the High Road shops late afternoon. I’m fine, but I’m going to start keeping my phone out of sight when I’m walking past Epping Forest edges and through St John’s Recreation Ground, and I’ve told my teenager to do the same. Has anyone else noticed anything dodgy around The Victoria or near the Sainsbury’s Local, and is it worth reporting even if it’s just “suspicious” rather than an actual incident?
