Officers urge people to get in touch
Island police are reassuring the public it's safe to come forward about being a target of online blackmailing.
It comes after a spate of cases where people have been targeted on social media, and threatened with the exposure of sensitive information.
Large amounts of money have been demanded by perpetrators in exchange for their silence.
