A 'WELCOME ADDITION': PC Paul Rawson with the donated PWC.
ESSEX Police's marine unit have been gifted a jet ski by the Maldon District Council.
The Personal Water Craft (PWC) donated to the Essex Police Burnham-based marine unit was launched on Monday to tackle antisocial behaviour on the waterways.
As Covid restrictions ease and the warmer weather arrives more people are expected to head to the coastlines and waterways this summer.
This can cause concerns for the marine communities especially as Essex Police have seen reports of antisocial behaviour increase in relation to the use of PWCs on the River Blackwater, the River Colne, Brightlingsea and Point Clear.
