weekly update

Dear Neighbourhood Link Member,

Good Evening and I hope you are well!

Here is an update on neighbourhood policing in Syston, Thurmaston and surrounding:

What have the neighbourhood team been doing?

- High Visibility/Reassurance Patrols – in our ‘hot spot’ areas

- On 02/05, PCSO 6024 and PCSO 6098 attended the coffee morning at the Royal British Legion Club in Thurmaston. It was great to spend time speaking with local residents, listening to any concerns, and offering crime prevention advice and reassurance. Thank you to everyone who came along and took the time to chat with us. 

This is just a selection of what the neighbourhood team have been doing, we have also been completing crime investigations, partnership working with other agencies and engaging with residents and businesses in the area. 

 Our Priorities

We have received reports of vehicles committing ASB, including car cruising, off-road biking, and misuse of e-scooters. Officers have carried out enforcement under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act and continue to monitor hotspot locations. Work is underway with local councils and landowners to explore longer-term solutions, including signage and environmental measures to deter offending.

Reports of residential burglaries have been received in the NL61 area. Officers have increased overnight patrols and are working closely with CID to progress investigations. Crime prevention advice has been circulated to residents, and engagement with Neighbourhood Watch groups continues to help reduce risk and reassure the community.

There has been an increase in reports of theft from vehicles across the NL61 area. Officers are conducting targeted patrols in hotspot locations and sharing crime prevention advice with residents. Investigations are ongoing to identify offenders, and intelligence is being gathered to support enforcement activity.
