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.

Police chief's K-9 dog mauls his 3-year-old daughter to death
A police chief's K-9 dog killed his young daughter in the back yard of their home while he was away. The German Shepherd named Draco was in a kennel and 'not actively attacking' when deputies responded to a call for a child being assaulted by a dog at the home in Burlington, Colorado, according to the Kit Carson County Sheriff's Office. Sheriff Travis Belden and a deputy found the three-year-old girl unresponsive, and her mother, in the yard on Monday. The toddler was rushed to Kit Carson County Memorial Hospital. 'Despite best efforts by medical staff the child was eventually declared deceased,' stated the sheriff's office. 'This is a very tragic situation, affecting this community as a whole.' Burlington police Chief Nate Hill was keeping Draco at his home after Cheyenne County Sheriff's Office ended its K-9 program and donated him to the city's force. 'We our deeply saddened by the tragic incident that occurred within the city limits of Burlington, CO,' stated the Burlington Police Department. 'Our hearts go out to Chief Nate Hill, his wife and family for the loss of their little girl, who was victim of a dog attack.' Draco was taken to the Burlington Dog Pound and 'humanely euthanized', according to the Kit Carson sheriff's office. He had served as a narcotics detection dog. More Trending 'The dog was not trained in any kind of bite work to include protection or apprehension,' said the Kit Carson sheriff's office. Draco was not in service at the time of the attack. The incident is under investigation. The police department also said it was 'a tragic accident and not a criminal matter'. A Facebook post by the Cheyenne sheriff's office indicated that Draco was deployed in a traffic stop on June 19 'to conduct a free air sniff, resulting in a positive alert on the vehicle indicative of the presence of controlled substances'.
