A NEW police drop in service for shoppers and commuters is set to continue this month.

The Huddersfield town centre contact points are held every Thursday and alternate between the bus station and the Packhorse Centre.

The service was set up in a bid to combat rising levels of purse snatchers and pick pockets.

Officers will be available at the bus station from 10am today and will be at the Packhorse Centre next week.

On top of crime prevention advice officers will also give away free keychains, secret purses and home security packs.
