“One of the key messages I was keen to get across last night, was the importance of residents reporting all incidents to police. As I mentioned at the meeting, I personally review every report of crime or antisocial behaviour that is made in the Jennyfields area.
"If police are aware of the full picture of incidents, we can ensure that we respond accordingly. It may be that the one piece of vital information, that a resident may think is not important, could actually make all the difference and enable us to bring about a successful prosecution. So please do pick up the phone and let us know.”
Sergeant Tiffany updated the meeting on the progress police have made on a number of recent investigation and the successful outcomes achieved.
