Knife Crime Advice from local Police

• Have a false sense of security;
• Could be arming your attacker, increasing the risk of getting stabbed or injured;
• Are breaking the law

Suspicious activity

In last week’s email about reporting suspicious activity was included Rough Sleeping. I was taken to task about this as people sleeping rough are in difficult circumstances and it is probably wrong to denote it at Anti-Social behaviour. The website shows that reporting rough sleepers will get relayed to the Street Link organisation (phone 0300 500 0914)
