Last night we headed out up to the view point overlooking the golf club to help spot any red flares in the Poole direction
A few minutes later we were called to King Georges field to assist Police after 4 red flares were sighted in the park area.
On arrival the police were talking to a group but confirmed they weren't anything to do with the flares which seemed to come from the prospect crescent area. A little drive around and sadly nothing was found.
We continued the patrol and liaised with the Police throughout the evening who were building up quite a supply of fireworks taken from youngsters.
One group we found were in the country park about to set quite a few off. Was this unfair? - Well the country park is protected, fireworks close to the cliffs can be mistaken for flares and should young people with drink be walking about near to the cliff edge at 11pm? - we have had to deal with incidents like this before so prevention is better than the cure?
As we returned to the station at 11.30pm - Southbourne and Lymington had just been called out for reports of flares, so perhaps our efforts were worth it?
