A few crimes to report – At around 2100 hours, 12th September 2008, damage was caused to a house door in Kniveton village by an unknown person banging on it.

Derbyshire police have launched a new telephone number today.

0345 123 3333

The force has changed just one digit of its existing number to make the new number easier for people to remember. The number 0345 123 3333 is now their non emergency number. People can ring it to speak about any policing matter which is not a 999 emergency.

It replaces the former number of 0845 123 3333. Under the new system callers will pay no more than they do for calling geographical numbers which begin 01 and 02.
