New notices in areas of potential trouble (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
hot spots
'areas of potential trouble' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'new notices' is the wordplay.
'new' becomes 'hot' (synonyms).
'notices' becomes 'spots' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'hot'+'spots'='HOT SPOTS'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hot spots that I've seen before include "Where to expect danger" , "politically volatile areas" , "areas of potential trouble" , "Places of significant activity" , "places of potential violence" .)
