PC Smith said: "If you see me when I'm out and about, please stop me for a chat.

“I want to know what issues are affecting our residents.

“We work with a multi-agency team and are here to try to resolve problems.

“I understand that some people are unsure about speaking to police, if you have information to provide, I would urge you to speak to Crimestoppers to provide anonymous information."
