“Our children have a right to be safe in the community, they should be free to grow and learn without harm from those people who are there to guide and protect them. Police is committed to keeping our children safe, anyone who feels unsafe or who needs support should contact their local Police station or in an emergency call 111,” said Detective Sergeant Nick O’Brien.
