A NORTH Huddersfield bobby has swapped Ashbrow for a new life in Australia.

Pcso Andy Baker is moving Down Under with his family after nearly a decade patrolling the streets of Lindley and Ashbrow.

Andy was one of the first Pcsos recruited into the force and spent all of his service based in Huddersfield North. Andy was a familiar and approachable face in and was well-liked among residents and partners in the area.

Huddersfield North Inspector Mohammed Rauf said: "Andy leaves some big shoes to fill on the team, and will be greatly missed by his colleagues at work.

"We wish them all the very best for their new life Down Under!"
