Melton Rural South Monthly Beat Update – August 2025
Dear Resident Welcome to August’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 August we once again saw a high number of Road Traffic Collisions (RTCs) and Road Related Incidents on the beat’s roads at 13. Unfortunately 3 of these RTCs were serious, 1 of which, tragically, 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. The number of criminal damage incidents in August has remained the same as the previous month at 4, but there has only been 1 reported burglary on the Rural South. Please ensure you keep your doors and windows locked and your outbuildings secured. 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 #yousaidwedid #inyourcommunity #meltonruralsouth #leicestershirepolice
