Melton Rural North beat officer update:

After returning from a short period of leave on the 12th of this month, it’s already been a busy and rather varied week across the Melton and Rutland Policing area.

Here are some highlights!  

 - Progress made on a medium-risk antisocial behaviour case in Bottesford. We've identified some of those involved and will be working with them to help steer their behaviour in a more positive direction.
 

 - Responded to a report of an assault taking place in a moving vehicle.
 

 - Investigated concerns about individuals interfering with badger setts. Thankfully, it turned out to be legitimate pest control work for a local farmer — all above board.  

 - Attended an interdepartmental incident alongside response officers, the Safer Streets Team, and colleagues from the NPT following reports of juveniles setting fires and fleeing from officers around Melton Town. One individual was arrested, and others are now under investigation for separate matters.
 

 - Responded to a report of a suspicious male aboard a train heading into Melton Mowbray. The train was held briefly while a thorough search of all carriages and toilets was carried out. I’ve never been stared at more, whilst walking through a train in my entire life! 
 

 - And to top it off, PC 3009 Tranter (from the Rural South Beat) and I found ourselves “PINING” for a new role in “SPECIAL BRANCH” after discovering a rather large, and rather old tree that had been felled by the wind and as a result, was blocking the road. Thankfully, some "L-OAK-ALS" came to the rescue with a chainsaw and a Manitou, removing it piece by piece — we “WOOD” have stood no chance otherwise! 

I know what you're thinking... you're “SYCAMORE” of my puns... so I’ll “LEAF” it there. 
 

For those curious, I’ve attached a photo of the tree to the FB post, with my telescopic broom professionally propped up against it for scale!
 

A few more late shifts to go…
