Police are determined to stop town centre violence

POLICE are warning people who cause trouble in Northwich town centre that there is nowhere to hide.

Detective Sergeant Henry Platten, of Northwich Neighbourhood Policing Unit, is determined to clamp down on violence and disorder in the town following a recent rise in the number of incidents.

And he has warned officers will not stand for any more violent offences and will take strong action against those who step out of line.

He said: "There has been an increase in the levels of violence in the town centre, particularly in the evenings.

"We are not prepared to put up with this as the violence and disorder is not only affecting those directly involved, but also those who simply want to enjoy a night out in Northwich.

"Any incidents of this type will be dealt with swiftly and robustly, with the offenders facing the prospect of prosecution."

"Violence in any form is unacceptable and by working together police and the community can take steps toward making Northwich better place everyone."

Hide in Winnington, Castle and Kingsmead. You can wreck as many cars and fences as you like, drink and scream your head off waking everyone within a 3 mile radious without any risk of ever being caught by the police!
