Leighton-Linslade lads praised after saving four-year-old child from potential danger

Two Leighton-Linslade lads have been praised by Bedfordshire Police after they saved a four-year-old child from potential harm.

PCSO Rachel Carne took to social media recently to praise the boys, who have not been named, after they raised a cause for concern with the force.

The police would like to raise awareness of the story to encourage residents in the town to look after one another and report crime.

PCSO Carne said: "These young lads highlighted an issue to me in town which caused them concern.

"As a result a four-year-old child was protected from potential danger and one male arrested.

"To say I am proud of them is an understatement. Well deserved cakes and chocolates awarded!"
