PSNI to target known criminals in run-up to Christmas
Known criminals in the North will be targeted by police to keep Belfast crime-free in the run-up to Christmas.
The PSNI have devised a 'Christmas Policing Plan', which will see high-visibility patrols stepped up in potential hot-spots with officers patrolling on foot, in cars and on bikes.
Extra beat officers will be deployed in the city centre and other parts of south and east Belfast - with Community Officers offering advice from stalls being set up in major shopping centres.
In a similar campaign last year, recorded theft fell by more than 20%.
