Town Officers on foot patrol on the 10/2/2021 on Frodingham Road and West street were alerted by a member of the public that there quad bike had been stolen. Within 10 minutes the quad was found, a male arrested and the quad bike returned to the owner. With more officers on foot patrol in the town area daily it makes catching criminals easier as we can be in the right place at the right time. PCSO Richard Lawson
