Any information given to police can help tackle crime in the area and help keep our towns and villages safer.

Local policing teams regularly set priorities to help them target specific issues for different areas.

A spokesman for Northants Police recently told the Northants Telegraph: “Tackling the issues that matter to our local communities is the bread and butter of neighbourhood policing and that’s why each local area has its own local priorities.

“These local policing priorities are set twice a year and are based on local crime statistics, information from partner agencies and feedback from the community.

“To have your say on what you would like your neighbourhood officers to focus on, and to get updates from them about crime and policing activity in your area, please visit Northamptonshire Talking at https://www.northamptonshiretalking.co.uk.”

If you need to report a crime, call 999 if it is an emergency or 101 for non-emergency enquiries.

Crimes can also be reported anonymously to Crimestoppers online or by calling 0800 555111.
