Police in Trafford have spent criminals’ cash to put a smile on the faces of local children this Easter.
Money seized from organised crime gangs using the Proceeds of Crime Act has been used to purchase a number of Easter eggs.
Officers from Trafford plan to visit families over the Easter weekend and hand out the eggs to children who have been affected by crime.
Superintendent Jim Liggett from GMP’s Trafford Division said:
“Police in Trafford regularly seize cash and assets from organised crime groups who cause nothing but misery within our communities.
“We use some of these funds to tackle local crime fighting priorities for the benefit of the community, as well as for local community projects and engagement events.
“This weekend, we have decided to use a small amount of this cash to bring happiness to young children within the community who have been affected by some form of criminality.
“I hope this small gesture will bring some happiness to the children and show the public that they remain at the heart of everything we do”.
