Increased Police presence in South Devon over the weekend

Police have been made aware of information about an event taking place in South Devon today, [Friday 24 May], and a large number of young people are thought to be attending.

Last year Police were made aware of a number of students celebrating in and around Totnes and Teignmouth which resulted in both ambulance and the police becoming involved. To avoid a repeat of this, there will be an increased police presence with officers patrolling key areas.

We know that celebrating the end of the educational year is important to all students which is why it is important that our police teams are doing what they can to keep everyone safe, including young people.

By increasing our proactive patrols, we will have a robust approach towards anti-social behaviour, including underage alcohol and drug consumption, vandalism, fighting, excessive noise and other forms of anti-social behaviour.

We would ask parents and guardians to help us in our efforts to ensure that our towns remain a safe environment for all.
