Saturday, 5 February 2011 00:00

Crimestoppers Isle of Man is launching a new initiative today aimed at teenagers across the Isle of Man.

The online 'Fearless' campaign aims to tackle crime locally and make teenagers aware of way they can report it.

Stuart McCudden, Chairman of Crimestoppers IOM told 3FM that the website is targeted at 11-17 year olds and offers channels for younger people to report information about crimes anonymously and without fear of repercussions.

Today's launch is taking place from 9am until 5pm at the Strand Shopping Centre.
