There is sometimes a reluctance amongst the Manx public to report suspicious or anti-social behaviour, according to Inspector Ken Kneale of the Eastern Neighbourhood Policing Team.
He says that people who COULD provide valuable information to assist in prosecutions are sometimes put off, possibly for fear of repercussions in a what is a small and often tight-knit community.
But Inspector Kneale says that police are sensitive to those concerns, and that officers would rather deal with calls that may NOT lead anywhere than not be contacted at all:
Motorcyclist flown to UK for treatment after Ballamodha crash
Surge in first time buyer mortgage applications
Air ambulance involved in Ballaugh collision response
Braddan Commissioners petitioning DOI for £475,000 for housing maintenance
Mayor of Douglas charity appeal raises £3000 for local charities
Flat fire caused by discarded cigarette
