Today, 25th March 2014, the British Transport Police were at Preston Railway Station to promote the safety and security of passengers of the railway networks. They were there in an initiative to create traveller awareness of the threat of personal theft.

The team of officers were giving advice and handing out free travel safety kits and various leaflets offering hints and tips to enable travellers to enjoy their journey without the pitfalls of falling victim to criminal behaviour. One officer explained that the main items of theft are luggage and bicycles, which have become quite commonplace recently and said that it is extremely important that travellers keep an eye on their personal goods during their time on the railway networks.

British Transport Police want to make a point of how important it is for people to understand the nature of their roll in being there, to assist anyone who has experienced such problems during their journey on the rail networks. People are very welcome to introduce themselves to their neighbourhood officers, who police the railways, as they are always happy to speak to member of the communities they serve.
