Learn to keep your purse safe event
Wyre Forest residents will get the chance to learn more about
keeping their purses safe and general crime prevention at an event
on 27th November in Kidderminster Town Centre's Bull
Ring.
Members of the Wyre Forest Community Safety Partnership team, along
with the police will be manning a stand from 10.00am to 1.00pm
advising shoppers on how they can keep their purses safe and
secure. Items such as alarms and bells will be available to
visitors, at the team's discretion.
There will also be information relating to domestic abuse and how
the Worcestershire Forum against Domestic Abuse will be supporting
an international campaign called 'The 16 Days of Action'. The
campaign runs from Wednesday 25th November until 10
December and a host of activities are planned.
Wyre Forest Community Safety Partnership Chair, Helen Dyke,
said:
"With December almost on the doorstep, our thoughts turn to
Christmas and all that extra shopping! Love it or hate it, it
means that our towns will be getting much busier and this presents
an ideal opportunity for the purse thief. Please make sure
your purse or wallet is secure and out of sight in a place that a
pick pocket would find difficult to reach without you
knowing. We will look forward to seeing you in
Kidderminster's Bull Ring on 27th November."
