The head of policing in the centre of Nottingham has issued a 'common sense' message to students over preventing break-ins at their new homes. Inspector Ben Lawrence, the newly appointed head of the City Central district, has outlined his aims and priorities after taking up the job of overseeing Berridge, Radford & Park, Hyson Green & Arboretum and Wollaton East & Lenton Abbey in September.
Inspector Lawrence indicated his team’s priorities would remain tackling serious violence, antisocial behaviour and burglary. He has now given a warning to students on the important steps they need to take to avoid becoming a victim of opportunistic thieves.
"In the Lenton Triangle we had a spike in burglaries when the students came back but we locked up four or five burglars and noticed the problem has now died off," Inspector Lawrence said.
