Take part in schoolwatch this summer - PSNI

WITH the school summer holidays just around the corner, police in Ballymena and the wider H District are asking principals and caretakers to ensure they make regular checks of school buildings to deter unauthorised persons from gaining access while the properties are not in use.

This type of incident has a financial impact on valuable school funds and can cause unnecessary hassle for teachers and pupils.

Police are also asking people living close to schools to help keep an eye on the properties and to report any suspicious activity immediately on 0845 600 8000.

A spokesman said: “Do not think that you are wasting police time by reporting such activity!”

Schools requiring further advice should contact their local crime prevention officer on 0845 600 8000.
