Melton Rural South Monthly Beat Update – October 2026

Dear Resident
Welcome to October’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 October we have continued to maintain a considerable reduction in the number of Road Traffic Collisions (RTCs) and Road Related Incidents (which includes vehicle breakdowns and dangerous driving), on the beat’s roads at 22, on previous months. As always, our advice is please drive to the speed limit and the weather conditions, whether they be wet or extremely hot, particularly with the onset of the darker evenings.

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 October has reduced to 2, and the number of reported incidents of theft has once again decreased to 4.

There have been 23 reports of Assault (including domestic related assault) in October across the Rural South Beat which has increased from the previous month.

The number of reported burglaries on the Rural South has once again remained at 4 from the previous month. The beat team, supported by the Rural Crime Team will be continuing to increase high visibility patrols across the beat in an attempt to deter any further incidents and reassure residents. Please ensure you keep your doors and windows locked and your outbuildings secured.

In addition, there were 2 incidents of vehicle crime and 1 public order incident.

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

As always the beat team are grateful for all your help, co-operation, and support. Thank you.
