Shown the consequences of crime

On Friday last week, PC Jim Clarke and PCSO John Webb met with a group of pupils at the Chalfonts Community College to visit the sites where serious vandalism has recently taken place.
There is no suggestion that the perpetrators of the recent attacks were pupils at the college, but police aimed to demonstrate the seriousness of the recent incidents.
The group met with Allan Murell of the Vale, who recently woke in the early hours of the morning to find his £18,500 caravan had been set ablaze by yobs.
PCSO Webb said: "We wanted to raise awareness with young people about what actually happens when serious vandalism is committed. The group were taken to certain hot spots in the village where crimes have recently happened. We showed them places where graffiti is usually committed and the site where two motorbikes were recently dumped and set on fire.
"We paid a visit to Mr Murell as well, and he told them about the terrible incident when his caravan was set alight. I was very impressed with the way in which the young people empathised with what had happened to him, and the way that they listened and took on board with what he had to say. We were very pleased with the exercise and how the young people conducted themselves."
PCSO Webb visited the college again this week to deliver a talk to Year 9 pupils about the dangers of knife crime.
He added: "It went very well. It is very important that youngsters understand just how dangerous it is to carry knives, so the visit to the school was very useful."
