"Local youngsters got the chance to have a chat with officers and look in the police van. They also got to find out a bit more about the off-road bikes, and how to use them safely.”

Fortify’s DI Nina Jackson said: “The event was an evening of family fun and community unity.

“It was a pleasure to work with partners and reassure the public we are listening and want to make the difference they deserve.”
