“Tonight we have been dealing with several reports of youths behaving in an anti-social manner on Colne Town Centre.

“Last night, whilst dealing with the same group, we stopped and searched a male who was part of the group after receiving intelligence that he was carrying a knife.

“The search revealed that he was indeed carrying a knife, and he was therefore arrested for this offence.

“Please be mindful about where your children are and consider having relevant conversations with them about their behaviour and their safety.”
