Carol produced in Skegness warns about Christmas crime

A carol is spreading the word in song to prevent crime this Christmas. '¨Skegness Crime Prevention Panel have presented town councillors with a flyer of the carol they have reproduced with the help of a donation from the council. Steve Hinsley, secretary of the Panel, said: 'We are using a Christmas carol to raise awareness of the Christmas presents that are stolen at this time of year.' Copies have been distributed around town warning people to keep gifts out of view to avoid temptation by criminals: 'On the first day of Christmas, your gifts for all to see,,,,and they could be stolen from you'.

Mr Hinsley said: “We’ve used the carol before but over the years the wording has changed because gifts have changed.

”Now we have lines like ‘Sister Sophie’s tablet’.”
