THREE new Police Community Support Officers have this week been recruited to Rossendale Neighbourhood Policing Team.

PCSO Callam Nuttall will be covering the Greensclough and Irwell areas of Bacup, PCSO Peter Skidmore will be based in the Longholme district and PCSO Catherine Hampson will be policing the Hareholme area in Rawtenstall.

PCSO Skidmore helped with the arrest of a man accused of burglary in Bacup on Tuesday and recovered the stolen property.
