Police have been conducting high visibility patrols in Cockermouth.

A spokesman released details today of the July patrols "in the area of Wasdale Close and Kirkfell Avenue in Cockermouth following a hub referral that is in place for these locations".

These patrols are to give residents reassurance and an opportunity to speak with a PCSO whilst they are in the area.

"We also conducted a visit to a victim of crime in the area and they were referred to Victim Support," said the spokesman.

Victim Support is an independent charity, dedicated to supporting people affected by crime and traumatic incidents. They provide specialist services to help people cope and recover and to empower them to ensure their voices are heard individually and collectively at a local and national level.
