Bonfire Night: Know where your children are and don't be reckless with fireworks. Warning issued after youths were found throwing fireworks at police cars, ambulances and members of the public.
This behaviour is not fun. It is reckless and could cause serious injuries or even a fatality.
Over the Halloween period, officers dispersed a number of youths and returned them to their parents, with arrests and investigations into their actions now underway.
This Bonfire Night, we're urging you to talk to your children about the risks and dangers of fireworks. We fear it's only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured or killed.
Our neighbourhood and public order officers will be on duty this weekend carrying out patrols alongside partners to help communities stay safe. Call handlers in our Control Room are also preparing for a surge in demand.
We are asking you to play your part in reducing unnecessary calls and help emergency services respond where they're needed the most.
