Police in warning over dangers of building sites

Members of Derbyshire Police’s Shirebrook safer neighbourhood team made the discovery while out and about checking for anti-social behaviour.

A team spokesman said: “We found some people using a building site as a playground. Building sites are dangerous and not to be entered – they are fenced off for a reason.

“We have also been investigating reports of criminal damage and anti-social behaviour that is being dealt with in order to make your streets a better place to be.”

The team have also been working with colleagues in Bolsover and Clowne following similar reports of children “up to no good on a building site”.

The spokesman said: “Parents, do you know where your children are? Please educate them on the dangers of playing on building sites so that we don't have to.”

Call the team on 101.
