PEOPLE in Redditch are being urged to remain vigilant in light of the Paris attacks, as the UK terrorist threat level remains at severe.

The warning means an attack is highly likely but there is no specific intelligence that would suggest particular venues or events are more at risk.

Police are reminding residents to remain highly vigilant to anything untoward or suspicious.

Officers depend hugely on information from communities and the public should be encouraged to report any activity considered to be suspicious.

This can be directly to the police on 101/999 or via the confidential Anti-Terrorist Hotline 0800 789 321.
