✅ Crime Prevention Tips:

If you do see anything in the town that is unusual or if you witness a crime, best practise is to call immediately on 999 if there is an immediate danger or report it to 101 where an investigation can be carried out. Never try to stop a crime yourself, always think about your own safety first.
