If you have been a victim of crime there are a number of ways you can report it.

 

In an emergency dial 999 and inform the operator of the circumstances of the crime.

 

Non-urgent minor crimes, such as vandalism, should be reported to your local police station.  The police control room at Monkmoor answers all calls for Shrewsbury police stations - 08457 444888.

Alternatively, you can report minor crimes online at www.online.police.uk

 

Crimes can also be reported anonymously through Crimestoppers.  Simply call their freephone number - 0800 555 111.

 

Even with minor crimes, if the crime is in progress or the offender is still present at the scene, dial 999.

 

If you wish to report graffiti to our street cleansing department, you can do so using our self service facility.
