The Wycombe Community Safety Partnership has launched an operation to keep you and your belongings safe across Wycombe town centre this half-term holiday.
Rye Safe started on Saturday (29/5) and will run until the end of the half-term holiday on Sunday (6/6). Despite its name, the operation is also aimed at reducing crime in Desborough Road and the area around the bus station as well as on The Rye.
Officers decided to run the operation after analysis showed the school holidays to be a time of higher risk of robbery across Wycombe Local Police Area (LPA).
Officers on horseback will join those on foot to patrol the hotspot areas and representatives from the Community Safety Partnership will be on The Rye to talk to people and give advice and information.
Sgt Matt Myers is running the operation. He said: “We ran a similar operation over the summer holidays last year which had some great results and showed what a difference can be made by taking a pre-emptive strike against crime.
“Street robbery is down by 40 per cent in Wycombe this year and it’s a trend we are determined to maintain.”
