SHOPPERS can get crime prevention advice along with their groceries thanks to a new scheme.
The Bobby in the Lobby initiative will see a police officer at the entrance to supermarkets in Gravesend and Swanley.
They will visit the stores once a month to give advice and guidance on crime prevention and Neighbourhood Watch schemes.
Tomorrow an officer will visit the Swanley town centre from 9.30am to 4pm.
Sergeant Kaye Braybrook, of the crime reduction unit, said: “Officers will be on hand making it more accessible for people who otherwise might not think about seeking advice.”
