Dewsbury youth group provide crime-battling leaflet service

Teaming up with West Yorkshire Police, Kumon Y'all, lead by project leader Farook Yunus, delivered the information to residencies in the Dewsbury Moor area.

Farook said: "This was an area, not so far from our own, where residents had been reporting an increase in burglaries and thefts to cars and properties in the area.

"In a united effort to tackle this, Kumon Y’all volunteered with a group of eager and enthused young people that disseminated across the area of Dewsbury Moor, hand-delivering leaflets through every door whilst re-assuring residents that this area was protected.

"Our area of Dewsbury is a Neighbourhood Watch area and we felt this duty extended to neighbouring communities too."

The work hasn't stopped there, with the group having made the most of their half-term holiday by taking time out to clean the gardens of elderly residents in Batley.

They are welcoming people from Longcauseway Church to a mosque in Savile Town today (Thursday).
