Kent Police are being made aware of a
white van that has been stopping near to where children are playing and the
driver has got out and tried to encourage a single child to return to the van
with him.
On some occasions an adult female has also been seen in the vehicle.
Children have been approached in Hythe Ashford, Dover and yesterday evening in
Deal.
Please can you make your scheme members aware of this message and ask them to
reiterate the safety message to all children and to please make sure that those
looking after children know where the children are at all times.

Almost 150 vehicles have been removed from the streets of
South Kent in the latest multi-agency operation to target untaxed and abandoned
vehicles.
Operation Cubit is run by Kent Police in partnership with Kent County Council
and the DVLA and is also funded by Kent Fire & Rescue Service, Ashford Borough
Council and the District Councils in Dover and Shepway.
Operation Cubit is now in its seventh year in South Kent and in that time, has
been responsible for ridding more than 3000 untaxed vehicles from the area's
streets.
Any vehicles found, or reported to be untaxed or abandoned during the operation
are checked with the DVLA, then clamped and removed to be stored in a local
holding area.
Any vehicle that is not claimed within 14 days is destroyed in a crusher into
the shape of a cube, hence the name of the operation "cube - it".
The results for the South Kent Area are as follows:
Ashford
TOTAL number of vehicles removed: 49
Reclaimed by owner: 30
Crushed/scrapped: 19
Dover district
TOTAL number of vehicles removed: 43
Reclaimed by owner: 23
Crushed/scrapped: 20
Shepway District
TOTAL number of vehicles removed: 53
Reclaimed by owner: 22
Crushed/scrapped: 31
The DVLA state that nationally, road tax evaders cost the Exchequer millions of
pounds each year.

Officers from Kent Trading Standards visit businesses to
advise them of the law regarding age restricted products. We also conduct test
purchase operations to test whether businesses will sell these products to our
under age volunteers.
Do you know someone who sells alcohol or cigarettes to children? The sale of
alcohol and tobacco to people under the age of 18 is illegal and can cause long
term damage to their health.
Additionally, young people who consume alcohol have the potential to become
involved with antisocial behaviour.
If you know of premises that sell alcohol or cigarettes to under 18's please let
Trading Standards know via Consumer Direct on 08454 04 05 06 or by email
following the 'contact us' links on www.consumerdirect.gov.uk
