Warning to parents following roof incidents

Unfortunately in recent weeks, we have received a number of reports of young people climbing and jumping on the roofs of buildings.

Reports have been received in Nuneaton and in and around Stratford town centre.

Supt Stephen Flavell said: “We’re really concerned that someone is going to get seriously injured – or worse – if this continues.

“Not only is this anti-social behaviour but it is also a huge safety issue, and we’re currently working with our partner agencies to try and deter this behaviour from happening.

“We would also urge parents to please check where their children are playing, and if needed, warn them about the dangers of climbing on properties.”

If anyone witnesses someone climbing on a rooftop, please call 999 and give the best location and description possible.
