Criminal exploitation 

Criminals deliberately target vulnerable adults and youngsters. They befriend them and then threaten them into dealing drugs, hiding weapons, laundering money or carrying out violent attacks.

It’s purely for profit and they don’t care what the consequences are.

Spot the signs that a young person may be being exploited:

• Changes in behaviour
• Frequently missing from home, care or education
• Unexplained money, gifts or new possessions
• Unexplained injuries
• Carrying weapons
• Getting involved in fights
• Committing crimes, such as shoplifting

Sometimes, criminals exploit vulnerable adults, taking over their home to use as a base for their criminal activity. Signs that this is going on include:

• An increase in people entering and leaving the property.
• An increase in cars or bikes outside.
• Possible rise in anti-social behaviour.  
• Increasing litter outside.
• Signs of drugs use.
• Healthcare visits no longer take place.
• Suspicious vehicles or people at an address.
• A neighbour has not been seen for a while, or they are more distant than usual (with more visitors).

Violent crime

Organised crime groups are fuelling violent crimes, such as stabbings – sometimes with tragic consequences.

You can help end the violence, suffering and fear that unchallenged criminals bring to your town by speaking up with information about those people who are involved or who are forcing others into violence.  

You will always remain 100% anonymous – guaranteed.

We want to know:

• Who is exploiting youngsters and other vulnerable people?
• Who is being exploited?
• Who is supplying and selling weapons?
• Where a weapon has been hidden or stored.
• Information about anyone in your area that carries a knife or other weapon.
• Who has carried out violent attacks?
• Information about planned violent attacks.

You may be close to the people involved but you can still help bring violence in your community to an end.  

Stay 100% anonymous. Guaranteed.  

Many people have concerns about reporting serious crimes like these. They fear retaliation from the criminals if they find out who reported them. But members of a local community often hold the key to what’s really going on and can help stop the fear and violence. This is why our completely anonymous reporting service is so valuable.

By passing on what you know (however small or insignificant you may think your information is), the authorities can build a bigger picture of the crime and criminals involved. 

Your information really can help prevent genuine harm and injury.
