Good luck to the police and the Worcester News.
some might complain that this looks like a cheap stunt, but it's a good thing that the police are seen to be doing their job, to re-assure the public, and as a deterrent.
I'll be a bit nervous about anyone knocking at the door today, mind.

It's wet, it's cloudy, and it's a lovely day to knock a few doors in South Worcestershire.
