Your local neighbourhood team will be in and around the area to target the anti-social behaviour and illegal use of off road bikes. Proactive patrols have been conducted in relation to reports of drug dealing occurring within the area.

1. Vehicle Crime – We have recovered a number of stolen mopeds/motorbikes over recent times in the Spotland Area. Working with colleagues in other departments we are gathering intelligence on those who are suspected of being involved in these crime as well as increasing patrols in these areas on evening/night time.

2. Off Road Bike Activity – This occurs in the rural and urban areas of the wards, we have a dedicated operation to deal with these issues in which we work with the community and other partners. This includes a mixture or crime prevention/target hardening and enforcement.

3. Anti Social Behaviour Cutgate area – There is a group of individuals who have been causing ASB in this area and we have received a number of reports. Working closely with the Councils Community Safety Team we have assisted in issuing Community Protection Warnings to a number of individuals and will be increasing patrols in the area.
