Pop Up Shop Opens In Llandudno

A Crime reduction pop-up shop has been set up to raise awareness in the run-up to Christmas. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The crime reduction pop-up shop is part of a six week initiative being run by the local Safer Neighbourhood Policing Team who has secured space, thanks to Mostyn Estates, within the Victoria Centre for the Christmas period. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The pop-up shop, which is situated next to Thomson travel agents, opened its doors at the weekend and will remain in the centre until Saturday 7th January 2017. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The Cyber Crime Team will be on hand to offer on line security advice together with colleagues from the Fire and Rescue Service, Trading Standards, Community Safety and Conwy County Council’s Road Safety team. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Llandudno town centre officer PC Lee Parry said: “It’s important that we reach out and offer crime prevention advice. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“We have a good partnership approach with the local authority and businesses alike and we can increase people’s awareness on security in relation to burglaries, vehicle crime, domestic related incidents and doorstep crime.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

He added: “By offering this advice it not only reduces crime and the fear of crime but it also reduces demands on other organisations and makes North Wales a safer place to both live and visit.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“It’s an excellent opportunity for people to meet the team. If you are out and about in Llandudno please call in to see us.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
