LAYING Take care to secure your homes
WITH DIVISIONAL COMMANDER CHIEF SUPERINTENDENT DAVID DUNCAN
I hope you are all enjoying the longer days and making the most of the breaks in the weather.
Unfortunately some have taken advantage of people being able to be out and about during the day.
Your local officers have, again, ensured that their enjoyment of the outdoors has been shortlived and that the rest of us can rest easier.
Please though, take care of your homes and valuables – we are here to help with advice and support.
For more information please take a look at our website.
