UPDATE | Police on extra patrols following disorder
Devon & Cornwall Police are continuing to monitor the situation around any potential for violence or disorder across the counties.
Assistant Chief Constable Glen Mayhew said: “Following the recent violence seen in Plymouth on Monday 5 August, there has been an increased level of community engagement from Devon & Cornwall Police across our force area.
“This comes at a time when we know our communities are understandably concerned about violent disorder springing up in their areas with lots of speculation that more will follow.
“Our intelligence teams are working around the clock to assess all credibility of any reports we receive and will share information at a local level with communities as soon as we become aware of any threat.
“At this time, we have not received any intelligence which suggests a repeat of what we saw in Plymouth on Monday, however, please be reassured that we are keeping this under constant review.
“I want to take this opportunity to thank the public for their incredible support to our officers. We have been inundated by members of the public thanking our officers for their work. I, for one, am extremely proud of our officers and staff for their continued commitment and professionalism throughout this testing time.”
