Dear Residents,

Here is your weekly update from your local neighbourhood Policing Team, to let you know some of what we've been busy dealing with: 

PATROLS 

Officers have been carrying out patrols of the Longford areas on foot and in vehicles. We have been paying particular attention to locations that have recently experienced an increase in crime and anti-social behaviour, such as Riley Square and Longford Park. 

VEHICLE CRIME & BURGLARY

We have had no reports of a vehicle thefts this week and no reports of any burglaries in the Longford area. However, as it approaches the festive season, please ensure that all valuables are removed from your vehicles and out of view; refrain from leaving presents out on display within your home and ensure your home is adequately secured if you are away over the Christmas period.
