Melton Rural South Monthly Beat Update – June 2025

Dear Resident
Welcome to June’s Priority Update for the Melton Rural South Beat. Our beat priorities are decided from feedback from the community in the form of surveys through Neighbourhood Link and our crime incident reporting systems.
Thank you to all those who have completed the Neighbourhood Link surveys.
Our 3 main beat priorities continue to be:
Road Safety
Drug Taking
Rural and Farming Equipment Thefts

PC Tranter and I feel it is important that we keep you as residents informed regarding the level and type of crime on the Melton Rural South beat and how it is being addressed which is why we post these monthly updates.

In June we saw a sharp increase in Road Traffic Collisions (RTCs) on the beat’s roads to 12, tragically one of which involved someone losing their life. As always, our advice is please drive to the speed limit and the weather conditions.

Road traffic enforcement on the beat’s roads continues to be addressed with high visibility speed monitoring together with using both marked and unmarked police vehicles to stop vehicles. 

There has been only 1 criminal damage incident in June. The number of burglaries has also decreased sharply this month to 3. Please ensure you keep your doors and windows locked and your outbuildings secured.

 In addition, there has been a single incident of arson.

There have been 2 incidents of drugs possession on the beat and those involved are being dealt with accordingly.

PC Tranter and I will continue to spend as much time on the beat as possible, assisted by the Rural Crime Team, working longer shifts in an attempt to deter criminals on our area.

As always PC Tranter and I are grateful for all your help, co-operation, and support. Thank you.
PCSO French 6575
