Police in Exeter are launching a crime fighting operation to tackle theft of garden and power tools from allotments across the city.

Known as Operation Slug, allotment owners will be issued with a special kit that contains Smartwater, an invisible property-marking solution. Warning signs will be displayed to help deter burglars.

Each kit allows plot owners to mark their possessions with a unique forensic code that is traceable. This can then be used by the police to identify items should they ever be stolen, as well as help link suspects to crime scenes.

Starcross pupils ride the Riviera Line

Pupils from Starcross Primary School recently took a free train trip on the Riviera Line to visit the Riviera Centre in Torquay.

The trip was organised by the Devon and Cornwall Rail Partnership in conjunction with First Great Western. The Year 6 children had chosen to visit the wave pool at the Riviera Centre as their leavers’ trip. Having been given a budget for the trip by Starcross Primary School Parents, Teachers and Friends Association, they had been asked to research options, find the cost for each one and then vote for their favourite activity.
