Reduce anti-social behaviour in the vicinity of Rickmansworth High Street, and Waitrose.

Issued 01 January 2026

• Patrols have been carried out to help identify those involved and prevent incidents from occurring.
• An engagement event was held inside Waitrose to allow people to discuss any concerns and share information about anti-social behaviour.
• Officers stopped two teenagers near Waitrose, following reports of anti-social behaviour in the store and the car park. They were taken home to their parents and further enquiries are being carried out.
• Officers were on patrol when they noticed a smell of cannabis. They followed the trail to a small group of teenagers. One handed over half a joint that he’d been smoking, along with a couple of others he’d prepared for later. Officers took the time to have an open and honest conversation with the group, discussing the dangers and consequences of taking drugs, as well as county lines.
