from PC Michael Thomas 🙌
His key advice is to stay safe and have a good time with your friends.

PC Kelly had a deflating start to Festival patrol! A puncture within five mins 🤦🏻♀️ Fortunately it was patched up quickly and he was back to getting his miles in around the site 😎 Some officers will be patrolling on bikes to respond to any incidents as quickly as possible

Enjoy!!
We’ve had a few reports of phone thefts, thefts from tents and pickpockets. Not what you want at a festival! 👎 Thieves always look to make the most of these events, so ensure you keep all of your valuables on you and not on display🔒
