Crimes included 11 assualts, 16 thefts including four shopliftings, three burglaries and six cases of criminal damage.

Police explained that thefts had increased recently due to a number of incidents of fuel theft from the Heathpark Industrial Estate.

Most recently, police reported there had been an assualt on the High Street on Saturday, February 11th, involving several people.

Police advised councillors that the incident was being dealt with by the Criminal Investigation Department and that CCTV from the High Street was being used to identify the offenders and help with the investigation.
