Criminals rumbled during Operation Thunder
A major clamp down on crime in Salford, focusing on reducing burglary, vehicle crime, robbery and serious violent crime across the city is proving a success in its first month.
During January, the total number of offences reduced by 41 per cent compared to the same period in January 2009. This means there were 263 fewer crimes taking place.
Vehicle crime went down by 41 percent, 84 fewer incidents of burglary, 43 cases of robbery compared to 75 last year and seven less incidents of serious violent crime compared to January 2009.
Operation Thunder will continue to use a variety of tactics to gather intelligence and target offenders who take part in criminal activity. They include covert surveillance, search warrants, the use of forensic technology and high visibility patrols.
A dedicated intelligence room has been set up at Pendleton Police Station and Salford City Council’s new £1.8 million CCTV system is being used to catch criminals in action.
Superintendent Annette Anderson from Greater Manchester Police’s Salford Division said: “The figures for the first month are encouraging and we are determined to bring them down even further. We want to get the message across to those who offend that their actions will simply not be tolerated. Crime has a negative impact on the community so we are determined to bring to justice those responsible and further increase public safety.
“Residents and those who work in the city can help us in the fight against crime by taking all valuables out of vehicles, ensuring property is secure and not carrying valuables on their person. The community can also help us by reporting incidents and contacting police on 0161 872 5050 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
