Police step up patrols in Bedford's Riverside Square area following spike in drug use


Don’t be alarmed if you notice an increased police presence along the river as officers deal with anti-social behaviour in the area.
In a post on social media, police said: “Officers from the community team have and will be conducting foot patrols in the Riverside Square area of Bedford town centre in response to reports of ongoing anti-social behaviour and drug-related activity.”
The move follows reports from members of the public as well as businesses about people causing a right old nuisance – if you have any more info, report it online or call police on 101 (or 999 in an emergency).
