Greater Manchester Police has issued safety advice to the Muslim community fasting during the holy month of Ramadan.
While the force wished local people a safe and peaceful period, it also offered them helpful tips while they observed the fast.
A spokesperson for GMP, on its website Bee in the Loop, said: “As many of you travel to and from prayers, visit mosques, and gather with family and friends, please remember these simple safety tips:
“Stay aware of your surroundings when travelling, especially during early morning and late‑evening prayers, keep personal belongings secure and valuables out of sight, use well-lit routes and busy areas where possible, if driving to prayers, park responsibly and be considerate of local residents.
“Report anything suspicious to us straightaway – your awareness helps keep everyone safe.”
