Driving out burglars

SHOPPERS boarded a police burglary bus to get advice on crime prevention.

Customers at Tesco’s Featherstall Road store and Netto in Huddersfield Road were invited to hop aboard the custom-fitted bus as part of Operation Storm, a police campaign to reduce burglaries and increase detection.

Insp Kevin Rankin of the Oldham East neighbourhood policing team said: “We are targeting known offenders in their homes and disrupting and deterring criminal activity in communities blighted by this heartless crime. I encourage the public to help us in this fight by providing us with information that can help us put these offenders behind bars.”
