Glastonbury 2010 Crime Levels Drop For The Second Year Running

Crime levels at this year's Glastonbury festival fell for a second year running, organisers have said.

There were a total of 393 reported crimes at last weekend's event compared to 445 in 2009.

The majority of crimes – 230 – related to thefts from tents, while there were also 22 reported personal thefts – down by 39 on 2009.

A total of 117 people were arrested during the festival.

A spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Police told the BBC that work had already begun to make next year's festival “even safer”.
