Reported Crime and Appeals

Patrols, Police Activity and local engagement

Whilst officers where in the area of Brookside on the 6th July, 2 persons were spotted by officers where the suspects ran. Two persons were caught and searched. As a result, 2 arrests made for possession with intent to supply. 

Due to the schools closing for the holidays this week, we will be completing targeted patrols around school areas and parks this week. End of term time can attract issues such as organised fights and an increase in anti-social behaviour. We have previously completed work at local schools to educate children around the consequences of engaging in this type of behaviour. 

Due to some recent incidents such as a road traffic collisions and complaints of speeding, we will be out and about this week at targeted locations in response to resident feedback, to address these concerns.
