DESPITE the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns halting life as we know it, there is still criminal activity across Salisbury, south Wiltshire and north Dorset.

Police are still protecting the public, tackling crime and encouraging Covid-19 restrictions, but over the last week the force has turned to residents to seek further information and witness accounts about some incidents.
