CHILDREN have designed posters for a competition to deter would-be criminals.

Leigh Crime Prevention Panel, supported by the Lions Club of Leigh, organised the contest to involve young children in crime prevention.

Each year group in schools across Leigh had a specific theme on which to base their posters, including ‘Be Kind to Others’, ‘Drugs’ and ‘Don’t Talk to Strangers’.

The winners will be announced on July 8.
