Neighbourhood Crime - Residential Burglary, Vehicle Crime, Criminal Damage and Anti-Social Behaviour including off road bikes and drug dealing
Issued 29 April 2026
Officers have worked closely with the council and installed Section 59 warning signs in many local authority and privately owned open-space car parks. These signs act as a deterrent to individuals using vehicles in these areas outside of working hours, as any anti-social use can result in the seizure of the vehicle.
In addition, officers are conducting high-visibility patrols, particularly during late evenings, to tackle anti-social behaviour and reassure the community. Local officers will be gathering intelligence on criminal activity and will utilise stop-and-search powers to detect offences, including knife crime and drug dealing. Anyone found in possession of controlled drugs and/or weapons will be arrested, and those committing anti-social vehicular offences will have their vehicles seized.
