Bristol to bath cycle track robberies reduced.
(From Bristol Evening Post)
Police have reported a marked reduction in the number of robberies on the Bristol to Bath cycle path after five arrests and measures to make the route safer.
Patrols were increased along the Easton stretch of the path with officers on foot and using bikes and motorbikes to cover the route which saw 14 attacks in a week in May.
The city council's parks department has cut back shrubs so there are fewer places where muggers can hide and it has meant the lights along the path have a further range.
The council also plans to improve lighting under a bridge.
Five people were arrested and four have been charged with robbery.
Beat manager for the Easton area PC Terry Preece said: "As a result of the above initiatives, the number of robberies in June and July has significantly reduced.
