Reports to officers rises by 145% compared to last year
A new scheme to help people in domestic abuse situations has started today, through the police working with Tesco.
It comes as reports of domestic disputes have risen by 145 per cent on the Island, compared to the same time last year.
From today people can approach staff members in the Douglas store, who can speak to them confidentially, and steer them to support services.
Inspector Gavin Callow explains why the supermarket is suitable:
'Too early to tell' what caused fire
Crews from across the Island ensured cover was available
Firefighting foam may have killed fish in Silverburn River
People advised not to enter the water for 28 days
Additional road closure for TT filming ahead of MGP qualifying
Sunday morning closure along Quarterbridge and Peel Road
'Knives and sharp implements' left outside charity shops
Fly tipping warning from police after instances outside Crossroads
