A CAR dealership has provided Watford's community police team with a VW Polo 1.4 to help them patrol the streets.

Citygate Watford has sponsored the vehicle, which is in operation across the district.

Richard Eagell, operations manager of Citygate Watford, said: "We are very pleased to offer something back to the community of Watford."

This is the first VW Polo used by the Hertfordshire Constabulary in its fleet.
