Crime Reporting
If you have been the victim of a crime or have witnessed a crime it is very important to report it.
You should report crimes to the police. The following numbers can be used to do this:
- If it is an emergency and you require immediate assistance dial 999
- If it is not an emergency dial (0161) 872 5050
When you report a crime to the police they will investigate the crime and they may be able to find the person responsible. They may also be able to help you get back anything that has been stolen from you.
