“Identity theft, cybercrime and scams are a threat to both individuals and businesses, but there are things you can do to help protect yourself,” said Mr Thom.

“Shredding physical documents containing personal or sensitive information will help mitigate your risk of this information falling into the wrong hands and this event provides a great opportunity for that – we’ll even securely dispose of it for you, free of charge.

“If you have boxes of old bank statements and bills that need to be disposed of, then don’t miss the charity shredding event, taking place at Mid-Ulster Council’s Magherafelt Office tomorrow (Friday).”

Victim Support NI is an independent charity which helps people affected by crime.
