00:00The community there have had a lot to cope with recently and I really feel for them and my heart
00:05goes out to them.
00:07There is a police investigation and it's right that they are able to crack on and get on with their
00:12jobs to make sure that they can find out what's happening.
00:16But get these criminals off the streets because I know how people, I can only imagine how people must be
00:21feeling at the moment.
00:22And I want to pay tribute to the police for their incredible hard work in supporting people and doing their
00:28best to resolve the situation.
00:30But to my colleagues as well in the region, to members of parliament who are standing up for their constituents
00:35and fighting for them and for their residents.
00:37And I know they're working closely with the government as well.
00:41You know, in terms of providing the resource we need, we'll continue to work closely with the police and assess
00:46the situation.
00:46It is fast evolving. But of course, the police got to get on and get on, get these criminals off
00:52the streets and keep people safe.
00:54And it's absolutely right they do that. And I thank them for it.
