A CYCLE shop chain is joining forces with police as part of an ongoing campaign to cut vehicle crime.

Halfords is helping to promote vehicle security as part of Operation Outlaw, a month long crackdown on vehicle crime.

On Saturday, police officers will be at Halford's store in Russell Street, Darlington, to offer advice to customers. They will also be handing out information leaflets and money-off vouchers for mechanical security equipment.

Running from September 18 to October 16, Operation Outlaw is a joint initiative between police forces across the North-East
