“North Wales Police, in partnership with all six local authorities and Community Safety Partnerships across North Wales, are working together to tackle the issues that matter to our communities.”
That is the message ahead of a two-week campaign, which is being launched today (Thursday, July 1st) to tackle Alcohol-Related Crime.
Working together with all local authorities – Anglesey Council, Gwynedd Council, Conwy County Borough Council, Denbighshire County Council, Flintshire County Council and Wrexham County Borough Council, and Community Safety Partnerships, North Wales Police will be carrying both educational and enforcement activities.
The activities will include conducting test purchasing operations at licensed premises across the force area as well as patrolling hot spot areas targeting those who are involved with alcohol-related crime.
T/Superintendent Jeremy Vaughan, Head of Confidence and Community Safety said: “We believe that by working together to tackle the issues that matter to our communities we can have a positive effect.
“While there will be an emphasis upon police-led enforcement activities, I wish to stress that all six local authorities and Community Safety Partnerships will be involved.
“All communities throughout North Wales also have a role to play in supporting our joint activities and in particular passing on information about such issues as underage sales and where young people are gathering and drinking in public places.
He added: “Although this campaign will run for two weeks, we would like to emphasise that throughout the year, police and partners are committed to tackling alcohol-related crime. The public of North Wales can be assured that we are doing everything we can to make North Wales an even safer place to work, live and visit.”
