Neighbourhood Slough teams out in force for Halloween and bonfire night
Slough Neighbourhood police officers and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) were out in force across Slough and South Bucks over the Halloween and bonfire night period to prevent disorder and reassure the public.
Police ran extra Slough patrols specifically targeting those who cause criminal damage or behave antisocially.
Ch Insp Dave Parker, Deputy Commander of Slough Local Policing Area, said: “Although it was quieter than last year, it was still a busy period with many fireworks and eggs confiscated by officers who worked tirelessly to deal with those behaving antisocially.
“Despite our best efforts, several cars in the Haymill area of Slough and Burnham had their windows smashed and wing mirrors broken. This sort of behaviour is not acceptable and we urge anyone with any information about who’s responsible to come forward. Please contact PC897 Jay Knewell via the Police Enquiry Centre on 0845 8 505 505. If you don’t want to speak to police or leave your name, call the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.”
“Next year we intend to redouble our efforts. We especially want to encourage shopkeepers to be more vigilant when selling eggs and fireworks.”
