Police Warn Businesses to Stay Vigilant
“Businesses have already had a tough year due to Covid-19,” Sheffield Neighbourhood Inspector John Mallows said. “The extra stress and financial hit from burglaries is devastating for victims and the community. We know people are worried about these crimes and we’ll work hard to bring offenders before the courts.”
As the festive season approaches, police urge everyone to stay alert and protect their property.
