Police have vowed to continue to name and shame violent criminals after the success of a poster that told the public a gang had been jailed.
More than 900 posters, showing the faces of six men locked up for their roles in disorder in Keighley, have been put up in the Queens Road area of Knowle Park in the town.
The posters carried photographs of Mohammed Shabir, Sagheer Bashir, Shafiqual Ali, Junaid Miah, Mohammed Habib Ullah and Kabir Bashir, all from Knowle Park, who were sentenced to a combined total of more than 16 years when they appeared at Bradford Crown Court in January.
They pleaded guilty to crimes committed during fighting in March 2008 in which weapons were used.
The posters include appeals to the public to contact them about crime or disorder, with points of contact.
Inspector Wayne Horner, of Keighley Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “We have had some very positive feedback from residents in the Knowle Park area following the conviction of these men and we have found residents have responded very well to the local updates booklets such as this can provide.”
Chief Superintendent Allan Doherty, divisional commander for Airedale and North Bradford Police, said the poster method would be used again.
He said: “We believe this is a good way of keeping people informed about the issues which they have raised, and we hope to use this method across the division to help keep people aware of key issues in their communities."
Chief Supt Doherty, who is retiring at the end of this month, said the new booklet was a direct response to feedback from residents who said they wanted to be kept better informed by police about the progress of inquiries.

Whilst we have fools like you who make a race issue out of everything we will not get anywhere. If the poster was of a gang from a predominantly white area the chances are they would have all been White Christians or from a predominantly black area they would have been black Christians / Muslims. If you really wish to make a positive contribution to the debate then maybe we should concentrate on the fact that the sentences were too short or the posters not big enough.This article has nothing to do with race , its meant to be about crime and the punishment that went with it , good or bad.

Theres a cahnce today to check out moderate Islam in town and about, as the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community are setting up their stall in I think the Interchange, amongst other places.
Why not have a listen before you commit to voting for the divided society the BNP are fostering?

hey why is it that when 6 british pakistanis end up doing something wrong you have to mention relgion in the matter.we all know that they are doing wrong but what gives others reading about the matter reason to bring comments regarding rel,igion into it. Every town has its fair share of criminals whether they white or black or blue.i think some of you commenting on here are racists waiting for oppertunities like this to spread bad mouth to communitys arou d your areas so they have tension between cultures.
keep your comments about religion to yourselfs because you wouldnt mention nothing if there were 6 white lads on here. go to newcastle or barnsley you will know who does drugs or not there aint no pakis there.so who you gonna blame .white christians?????come on you can do better then these comments.i have white friends ,i never bring religion into them matters why should you jokes

most of white people dont know what to believe and what to follow.never the less even if they havnt a religion they got no room to comment on others religions. basically i would like to say that please dont bring religion into articles like this unless it has a religious theme to it.ie racist attack ,bnp demonstrations who have racist dilemas. these young british pakistani will come to their senses when they grow up. as will all diferent coloured criminals .I registered on here as i was reading comments and i felt that noone stands upto these clowns who allways seem to have someit to say when ever a british asian or pakistani is in news over bad things.do you ever get any comments from british asians or pakistanis when white people get involved in these criminal activities.NEVER no asain comments.so why is it when asians are on here you all start commenting? plus why is it that you people like indians and not pakistanis.theres more indians and polish in this country then pakistani and still defend indians and have got it in for pakis as you call them. our parents worked hard when they come to this country and no one appreciates it till today.england would be here if it wernt for the imports .our elders worked there ar...s off to get this country up and running as only place they were going was down.now you are up you all trying to bring us down. i have no other comment to make as i think its pointless arguing with any opposed person on here as they will have no brains

The reason was white youths upto 10 of them regularly smashing my windows, leaving dog mess on my porch and the final straw when I got burgled, they took everything including my War medals. I now live in BD3, everyone on my street is asian except for me, and I am treated very well, they regularly give me food, greet me everytime I am out, and have even visited me when I have been unwell.
