Teens taken to safety in Valley


drink crackdown Eight local children involved in police sweep


b y Fa iz a A f z a a l faiza.afzaal@jpress.co.uk Twitter:@clithadvertiser


Vulnerable children were takentosafetyaspartofa night-time operation to keep young people safe in the Ribble Valley.


Police joined forces with Lancashire County Council Trading Standards and other children’s agencies to conduct the CANsafe operation in Clit­ heroe. The initiative is aimed at


cracking down on underage drinkers and safeguarding youngsters who are believed to be vulnerable or at risk of significant harm. During the operation, eight


young people from the town were taken to the Joint Divi­ sional Offices in Pimlico Road


and were later picked up by their grateful parents. Responding to concerns


raised by some young people spoken to, police also attend­ ed the Pine Wood area of Great Harwood where a party ar­ ranged through social media was taking place. Around 50 youngpeoplewereinthewood who had come from schools in Hyndburn and the Ribble Valley. Police identified five young people who were in sig­ nificant risk of harm and they were taken to the safe centre. These included an intoxicated 14-year-old girl. PC Martin Midgley, who


co-ordinated the CANSafe operation, said: “At that time of night, the Pine Wood area is pitch black and young peo­ ple meeting in areas such as this are putting themselves at risk, especially afterconsum­ ing alcohol.


“It’s clear that some par­


ents had no idea that their children were in the wood and I’m sure i f they knew they wouldn’t have allowed them to attend. I urge parents tocheck where their children are going and if they are sleeping over, check who will be looking af­ ter them.” Similar advice was voiced


by Janice Hanson, the coun­ ty council’s cabinet member for public protection. She said: “Parents play a vital role in preventing their children from being placed at risk of significant harm. “We will continue to deliver


early intervention opportuni­ ties,suchasourCheck25 work with alcohol retailers, schools education programmes and positive participation activi­ ties alongside targeted opera­ tions, to support young people and their families."
