range of advice designed to deliver criminals an unhap py .Christmas by providing .
the public with information which helps them shop safe and stay secure at home and online.

ple’s good nature and those in our community who are more vulnerable,” said Clitheroe PC MarkParrington “These simple steps can
help us all to ensure that we keep ourselves and our prop erty safe. Ribbie Valley police will be maintaining a presence in our town centres at this busy time and will by actively targeting our known offend ers in an effort to ensure we all have a happy Christmas.” Here are the festive safety
