Burglary and Shoplifting, Anti-Social Behaviour, Drug Dealing and Anti-Social Road Crime
Our priorities are to help reduce and detect burglary offences which we do by assisting with CCTV enquiries, high visibility patrols, crime prevention surgeries and local operations. Dealing with anti social behaviour from off road bike activity and speeding and inconsiderate motorists is also a priority in which we will be looking to arrange a number of traffic operations in the coming months. We are also committed to gathering intelligence related to organised crime to help us tackle issues such as drug supply.
Priorities - Anti social behaviour, off road bikes, drug use, vehicle crime
Action taken - High vis and plain clothes patrolling, engagement with local youth clubs. Op Hurricane deployed to target off road and electric bikes, Op Venture deployed to target those involved in drug supply and use. Op Norway targeting vehicle crime.
