POLICE officers in Coedpoeth have taken to two wheels.

The Coedpoeth Neighbourhood Policing Team has been given bicycles to help them on patrol thanks to a donation from Coedpoeth and Minera Community Councils.

PC Mark Evans, community beat manager for Coedpoeth/Minera, Minera police community support officer (PCSO) Mike Camplin and Coedpoeth PCSO Sarah Roberts, are delighted.

The bicycles will allow them to cover a wider area, including more rural properties and make them more visible.

PC Mark Evans said: “We have had some attention from the children who think it is quite amusing to see police officers on bikes.

“However, I am confident by using this mode of transport can only benefit the community at large.”
