A vehicle identified which was identified as being involved in drugs supply was located on Martinfield. The driver was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A and B drugs and the vehicle was seized for no insurance.

During a separate incident, a vehicle failed to stop for officers and after a short pursuit the occupants decamped into a wooded area. The vehicle was seized and the owner issued with a Notice of Intended Prosecution.
Neighbourhood officers also conducted a concern for welfare check at an address following reports of a vulnerable occupant being cuckooed. Two males were located within the address and arrested for outstanding matters as well as being wanted for recall to prison.

We have been working hard to identify those contributing to ASB in the area and we are working closely with partner agencies and schools.

We have been working with partners to ensure that vacant premises are properly secured. This is to prevent those who would seek to trespass from gaining entry and causing damage. We’ve also been educating parents around talking to their children about the dangers of exploring abandoned buildings.

We’ve been working on solutions to prevent the alleyway next to McDonalds being used for criminality and ASB. This has included installing a gate to prevent access.
