Police Warning Issued After Children Caught on Playing on Roofs

Police in Wrexham are reminding children to play safely during the summer holidays and not to climb onto roofs.

The warning comes after a series of incidents in recent days in which officers have had to speak to a number of children about the dangers of playing on building roofs.

Designing out Crime officer Kelsey Reed said: “Roofs are extremely dangerous places to play and the potential for serious injury or worse is always there.

“We don’t want anyone to get hurt so we would urge parents, guardians and carers of young people to warn about the dangers of climbing onto buildings and playing on roofs.”

Police in #Wrexham & #Flintshire reminding children to play safely & not to climb onto roofs. Parents & guardians please spread the message.
