Inspector Paul Hogben and Community Safety Officer Pete Harmsworth patrolling Old Leigh after the latest stabbing in the area on Thursday POLICE bosses say crime and anti-social behaviour could rise in Leigh this summer - but that they are prepared for it. Inspector Paul Hogben of Essex Police has outlined what the police will be doing in Leigh as temperatures remain high and younger people finish school for the summer. The plans come following a wave of issues in the town in the past few months, including numerous dispersal orders and a teenager being stabbed on Thursday. Insp Hogben said: We have identified key dates and events where we know the area is likely to be busy and ensure there is an increased police presence across the district.
