🚨NL61 POOR DRIVING! WE NOTICED! 🚨
Reports of dodgy driving in Thurmaston led us to stop a vehicle. What did we find?
✅ Cannabis inside the car
✅ Driver failed roadside drug test
✅ Male arrested and now waiting for blood results

Turns out the only thing going fast was his bad decisions.

We’re out there, and we will stop you.

Another Christmas memory, can you help with this Churchill School nativity play taken around 1967. Can you name any of the little angels and the rest of the cast?

Leicestershire Police would like to wish the Jewish community of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland a very Happy Hanukkah which began yesterday evening. Our thoughts are with everyone affected and impacted by the horrific events in Australia.

Hanukkah is a Jewish festival commemorating the re-dedication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire. It is also known as the Festival of Lights. The festival is observed by lighting the candles of a candelabrum with nine branches, called a menorah (or Hanukkah).
