Beating Crime - in any language 05.09.07

Northamptonshire Police has teamed up with Crimestoppers to produce leaflets in seven languages in a bid to help cut crime.

The generic leaflet has been produced in English and seven of the most commonly used languages that police come into contact with across the county - Latvian, Polish, Lithuanian, Russian, Somali, Rumanian and Punjabi.

Kevin Shapland from Northamptonshire Crimestoppers said:

" Crime is a crime in anybody's language. The fact that English is not everyone's first language should not be seen as a barrier to providing information about criminals."

The leaflet is available in libraries, police stations, courts, probation offices and through other criminal justice agencies.
