We are working diligently to progress our investigations and we will be issuing extra patrols so you will see more officers in the area, both uniformed and plain-clothed officers. Plain clothed police officers will always carry formal identification with them. Please don’t hesitate to approach our officers and speak to them if you have any concerns.”
