Anti-social Behaviour (St Mellons shopping precinct)

A Crimestoppers Wales zone has been launched in St Mellons shopping district. The Crimestoppers Zones has been established to help deter criminal activity and anti-social behaviour. We have been working with Crimestoppers and Cardiff Council, to encourage the community to report incidents and concerns in these areas. It is hoped the Crimestoppers Zones will encourage those who are reluctant to contact police will instead report information or suspicions anonymously to Crimestoppers.
