Crewe St Barnabas

Over the summer months residents and the local MP raised concerns that youths were acting anti-socially at Leighton Brook Park. This included one specific child setting fires to grassland and a bin. This was at a time when there had been significant wildfires posing risks to communities across the country.

Mobile patrols and foot patrols were increased in the area to provide reassurance and deter offending. An investigation into the arson identified a suspect who was interviewed and charged for the offences.
