Crimestoppers launches neighbourhood crime campaign in Wales
Running from June 10 for three weeks, the campaign seeks to empower residents to recognise suspicious activity and report it confidentially.
The initiative highlights the impact of neighbourhood crime on community safety and wellbeing, focusing on issues such as burglary, vehicle theft, and anti-social behaviour.
Crimestoppers aims to remove barriers to reporting by guaranteeing total anonymity for those who provide information.
Hayley Fry, Wales regional manager for Crimestoppers, said: "Our communities are strongest when residents work together to address crime.
"This campaign aims to raise awareness of neighbourhood crime and encourage everyone to play their part in reporting suspicious activity.
"Remember, when you report through Crimestoppers, your identity remains completely anonymous."
The charity's drive will feature digital advertisements on social media platforms like Facebook, X, and Instagram.
These will share easy ways to report crime and pass on information securely and anonymously.
In the event of an emergency or if a crime is witnessed, Crimestoppers advises calling the police on 999 or 101.
To pass on crime information without revealing your identity, visit Crimestoppers' website at Crimestoppers-uk.org for a secure anonymous online form, or call their 24/7 UK Contact Centre on freephone 0800 555 111.
Crimestoppers assures the public that computer IP addresses are never traced and phone calls have never been tracked.
