POLICE have said they are stepping up patrols in Plymouth, as the Christmas period can also be exploited by 'opportunistic' criminals.
Devon and Cornwall Police said officers will be placed on additional foot and vehicle patrols at peak times and locations in order to tackle offences including theft, violence, domestic abuse and driving-related offences. This will be combined with plain clothes ops, and regular visits to shops and licensed premises.
Plymouth Commander Chief Superintendent Scott Bradley said: "This time of the year brings a wonderful hive of activity to our city.
While Plymouth remains a safe and welcoming place, we're aware that this busier period can attract opportunistic criminals. That is why it's so important for our officers to be visible, accessible and proactive throughout this season.
