Officers patrolling the M69 spotted a vehicle of concern, checks completed and as a result, vehicle seized on Rugby Road for no insurance and no license at 03:10 on the 8th of November. 

Patrols include areas such as Elm Tree drive, Salisbury Road, Atkins Way, Winchester Drive, North CloseWoodfield Road and Brookside. 

We have been completing work on the recent Halloween anti-social behaviour at locations such as Sketchley Road and Brookside. We have identified multiple youths involved and completed satisfactory outcomes for those involved. 

Thanks to PCSO Pritchard who attended the Remembrance Sunday parade in Burbage. He has sent me some pictures and it appears to have been a very well attended event, so a big thank you to all those who attended and supported in this years event.

We are continuing patrols around Burbage in response to recent residential burglaries. We have several events coming up including the Christmas market on Friday the 27th of December, Windsor Street from around 16:00 – 22:00. We will have our crime reduction stall so pop along if you can as it is always a really good community event. 

Crime prevention and issues to be aware of

If you own a motorbike, please be mindful that criminals may be on the look out for easy targets. Please also continue to be mindful of residential burglary and vehicle thefts as we continue through November, December and January where these types of crime can increase. If you need any support, please get in touch. 

Thank you and take care.
