Inspector Andy Short, of Filey and Eastfield Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “Neighbourhood policing is a key part of what we do at North Yorkshire Police.

“Having our dedicated officers, PCSOs, volunteers, and local authority colleagues working in partnership with other agencies at the heart of our communities helps us support and keep people safe all year round.

“This is particularly important at this time of year, which can be a difficult time of year for those who may have little or no family support.

“We will be working hard to keep vulnerable people safe, and I know that the local community will come together and support them too.”
