Police organise more crime prevention workshops

Saturday, 31 January 2015 00:00

Police have organised more crime prevention surgeries in a bid to reassure the public after the recent burglary spike.

It follows on from an initial event in Douglas last Saturday - which saw officers take up residence in the Strand Shopping Centre.

Aimed at reducing the level of concern after around 39 burglaries this month, follow up sessions have been organised across the Island.

Today, officers will be on hand at the Castletown Civic Centre between 12pm and 2pm to answer questions on how best to protect your home.

There will also be a surgery at Peel Sailing Club on Saturday, February 7th.
