You can play your part in preventing local crime by reporting it

Following a spate of problems on Saturday night/Sunday morning at Parklands, the Police will be stepping up patrols over the whole of the Green and Parklands, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. They will confiscate any alcohol, take names and follow up.

You can play your part by reporting any crime or anti-social behaviour directly to the Police – unfortunately it is not sufficient just to put something on Facebook. Our Police Community Support Officer, Jason Wyatt, says that it is very important to report directly to the Police, so that all incidents are properly recorded.

You can make your report by calling 101. As that is very busy at the moment, PCSO Wyatt suggests that you make an on-line report instead.

In an emergency, you should still call 999, as on-line reports may not be read for several hours.
