Sling Shot Seized from young person by PCSO Kev Tudge this morning in the Pickersleigh area of Malvern.

Under the Prevention of Crime Act 1953, it is an offence to possess any offensive weapon in a public place without a "lawful authority or reasonable excuse". A slingshot is not automatically classified as an offensive weapon, but if you carry it with the intent of causing injury, it becomes one.

The use of a slingshot to injure or kill animals is illegal under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and the Animal Welfare Act 2006.

In such cases, the police have powers to seize the weapon as part of their investigation.

We understand that most young people do no possess a sling shot, however we would like advise parents of the above and to be aware of what their Children may be getting up along with the dangers of carrying and using a sling shot.

🍁 Autumn Road Safety Reminder 🍁
With the recent rain and the arrival of autumn, more mud and debris are being brought onto rural roads by tractors and other farm or contractors vehicles. 🚜
Under the Highways Act (1980), farmers and contractors must ensure their vehicles are cleared of mud and debris before entering the public highway. Excess mud can be extremely dangerous—it affects how vehicles handle, increases the risk of skidding, and poses particular hazards for motorcyclists and cyclists.
Any incidents of mud on the road causing an issue can be reported to https://orlo.uk/u2NjP or if this poses an immediate danger call 101.
If you suddenly find there is mud on the road that you are on reduce your speed and keep a larger distance between you and the vehicle in front in case you need to react.
Let’s all do our part to keep safe on the roads this season.
