POLICE have issued advice on keeping parks in Dorset a safe space for children.

Dorset Police has urged members of the public to look out for dugs in play areas.

A spokesperson for Dorset Police said: "Parks should be a safe space for children to explore and run around playing in.

"You should never have to worry about what they might find on the ground that could hurt them.

"If you see or know of drug-related activity in your area, tell us.

"The information you have could help us put a stop to these people and the crime on your streets.

"Help us make your area no place for drugs.

"You don’t have to tell us any of your details – you can pass any information anonymously to Crimestoppers or by using the StreetSafe app.

"You can also report to Dorset Police online at https://orlo.uk/VxpZm/."
