As members of the local Neighbourhood Watch, Susan and I receive a monthly newsletter from the Leominster Town Local Policing Team. The newsletter lists all of the contact names and phone numbers of the team and regional contacts. It also usually warns us about scams happening in the area and gives a summary of local criminals arrested. I enjoy reading the newsletter, not only because it’s so badly written, but also because I like the warm, neighbourly feeling.
But the newsletter isn’t often exciting. This month it was! On the back page under the heading A look at some of the good work done recently, there was a paragraph titled The Flasher. Here’s the item in full:
“Over the last 14 months there have been incidents of male “flashing” in and around the Leominster area. I am pleased to say that with some excellent work by your Local Policing team and a member of the public who managed to take a photograph, the offender has now been caught. He has admitted nine offences and is currently awaiting a court hearing.”
And finally, the newsletter ends with:
“And last but not least………
Your Local policing team at Leominster would like to wish you all a Happy and safe Christmas.”
Well, I’m happy in spite of all the holiday traffic and crowded shops.
