• One male was wanted for robbery and theft offences.
• A second male was wanted for a number of offences, including robbery, burglary, multiple shop thefts, and recall to prison. He was subsequently arrested and returned to prison.
PCSO 6187 and PCSO 6571 also carried out CCTV enquiries in relation to recent burglaries. As a result, one male was identified and later arrested.
PS Cross and his team conducted plain-clothes patrols around stores on Granby Street that have been affected by shop thefts. These patrols resulted in two arrests.
PS Cross and PCSO Brad were conducting enquiries at Tesco, Welford Place, when a male approached them stating that he believed he was outstanding with police. Further checks confirmed that he was wanted on a recall to prison. The male was arrested and returned to prison.
PCSO Becs has been carrying out additional patrols along Granby Street, speaking with shopkeepers and fast-food outlets regarding anti-social behaviour (ASB). Encouragingly, there has been a noticeable decrease in both ASB and vehicle-related ASB in recent weeks.
PS Cross and PCSO Brad encountered a male known to police for shop theft offences. Following a search, several stolen meat joints were found in his bag. PCSO 6187 and PCSO Becs attended the relevant store to establish whether a theft had occurred. A report was taken and the suspect was subsequently identified.
PS Cross came across an incident in the Horsefair Street area where a taxi driver had been assaulted. The suspect was still at the scene and was arrested. After details were obtained from the victim, he attended hospital to have his injuries assessed.
PS Cross and PCSO Brad, whilst on patrol, encountered a male who was wanted in connection with a sexual offence. The male was stopped and arrested.
A great week of proactive policing by the Cultural Quarter team, resulting in multiple arrests, positive engagement with local businesses, and continued work to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour in the area.
