Ten arrests made in connection with domestic abuse in Berkshire
Police described the operation as a 'day of action'
Ten people have been arrested in Berkshire in connection with domestic abuse.
Thames Valley Police officers and staff in our Berkshire West Local Command Unit came together for what they described as a 'day of action' last week.
Three digital devices were seized, which were downloaded by specially trained officers.
One suspect was charged and remanded and officers also issued three others with conditional cautions.
Additionally, three suspects were released on police bail and one was voluntarily interviewed.
Two fail to appear warrants were also issued to people that were arrested as a part of this operation.
Impact
Superintendent Colin Hudson, of Berkshire West LCU, said: “The force has and always will take domestic abuse, in all its forms, extremely seriously and we do everything in our power to target it in our communities.
“We understand that it has an adverse impact on victims, their families and their loved ones supporting victims of domestic abuse, the majority of whom are women, is a top priority for us.
“I am extremely proud of our teams in Berkshire West who worked tirelessly all day on Friday to target and arrest offenders.
“I would encourage anyone who is a victim of domestic abuse to please report it to police. If you are worried about someone else who you think is being abused, please, please report it.
"Abuse often continues behind closed doors for years, and we need to take every opportunity to break the cycle.”
Police encourage anyone who is a victim of domestic abuse to please report it to them.
There are also numerous charities and organisations who can offer victims support such as Victims First.
