Chadderton Central

Anti-social behaviour and overt drug use primarily in car parking and industrial areas. The peak time for offences is late evenings.

Officers have worked closely with the council and have installed section 59 warning signs in many local authorities and privately owned open space car parks. These signs will act as a deterrent to people using their own vehicles in these car parks outside of working hours as any anti-social use can result in seizure of the vehicle.
Officers are also conducting high visibility patrolling, particularly during the late evenings. Local officers will also be gathering intelligence and will be utilising their stop and search powers to detect offences. Anyone found in possession of controlled drugs and/or weapons will be arrested and anyone found to be committing anti social vehicle offences will have their vehicle seized.

Your local neighbourhood policing team will be carrying out high-visibility patrols at Chadderton Precinct as part of a targeted initiative to prevent and deter shoplifting offences. These patrols aim to provide reassurance to businesses, retailers and members of the public, while proactively addressing criminal activity in the area.

We will also be working with stores to try and mitigate offences. Criminal Behaviour Orders will be utilised to manage persistent offenders.

Off road bike issues. The neighbourhood policing team has identified the use of off-road bikes as a priority due to ongoing concerns from residents regarding anti-social behaviour, noise nuisance, dangerous riding, and risks to public safety. The unlawful use of off-road bikes can cause significant disruption to local communities, damage public spaces, and place both riders and members of the public at risk.

Your local neighbourhood Team are working hard to identify those responsible and bring them to justice through proactive policing we will conduct high-visibility patrols in identified hotspot locations where off-road bike activity has been reported.
Respond proactively to intelligence provided by residents, partner agencies, and local councillors.
