Current Priorities

Issue

The team are focussing on crime prevention for bicycle theft and Burglaries in the area.

Action

Bike Marking and crime prevention continues into the Summer months, to encourage the Community to protect their bikes, so we can identify them if taken. Burglaries, especially theft of Bicycles from Garages has seen a significant increase over the last month and PCSOs continue to carry out local reassurance patrols, carry out House to House enquiries for any evidence opportunities. Community Alerts are being sent out to warn the community when these crimes occur. We recommend that the Community Signs up to the Community Alert Scheme, to be up to date of what is happening in their area. Work behind the scenes continues to deter and solve Acquisitive crime in the area. Please see our Facebook Page for Dates for the FREE Bike Marking events.

Issue
