Cumbria Police: New Website For Children

Cumbria Constabulary has launched a new website for kids as part of its ongoing burglary campaign.

The new site - www.billtheburglar.org - is based around a fun animation of a distraction burglar called Bill who preys on vulnerable members of the community. It raises awareness of burglary, the need to secure your home and property, and encourages its young visitors to look out for family members and friends.

Officers plan to use the new website in schools across the county during the Constabulary’s six week long burglary campaign to enlist children’s help to spread simple crime prevention messages amongst their families and neighbours.

Safety Tips for Cyclists

Police are appealing for pedal cyclists to take care on Cumbria’s roads, and for motorists to stay alert as the cycling season kicks in.

The number of people using bicycles increases in Spring and Summer, which brings with it an increase in the number of collisions and injuries sustained by cyclists.
