Gang smash up two cars after failing to get into property
WITNESS APPEAL: A GROUP of men armed with crowbars and baseball bats tried to break into a property in South Ruislip before they smashed up two cars parked outside.
The incident happened on Thursday November 10 in Portal Close at around 8pm.
During their attempts to get into the residential property, between four and six offenders were disturbed by the occupant, at which point they damaged the cars parked outside.
They then made off in a large 4x4 type vehicle towards Wet End Road.
DC Barrett with Hillingdon CID is investigating and is calling for witnesses to come forward.
Extra patrols will be in place thanks to the South Ruislip Safer Neighbourhoods Team who will be reassuring residents and looking to identify any suspicious behaviour.
If you were in the area at the time, if you saw anything suspicious or if you saw the large 4x4 vehicle you are asked to contact Metropolitan Police on 101 and ask for DC Barrett at Hillingdon CID. You can also contact the South Ruislip Safer Neighbourhoods Team at Ruislip Police Station on 0208 246 1823. HAYES and Harlington MP John McDonnell joined health bosses to open a new pharmacy at Hillingdon Hospital.
Mr McDonnell toured the new outpatient facility on Monday November 14 with the chief executive of Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Shane Degaris and chief pharmacist Andrew Caunce.
The new facility was funded by Hillingdon Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and features new high-tech equipment, including a waiting time display.
Shadow Chancellor Mr McDonnell said: “Knowing you are actually in the queue and being dealt with promptly is wonderful and that is all about the patient's welfare.”
The Labour MP was also shown the dispensing area and the computercontroller robot that picks out drugs and delivers them from the store room.
Mr McDonnell thanked the CCG and staff for their hard work. PHARMACY VISIT:
Chief executive of the trust Mr Degaris praised the team for ‘yet again doing a brilliant job'.
Mr Caunce said: “The new outpatient pharmacy is a significant improvement as patients can now get any medicines immediately following their outpatient appointment.”
