Current Priorities

Issue

Burglaries are an impactive crime on communities and cause anxiety to local residents. The beat team will tackle this by promoting preventive measures on social media. By conducting regular patrols in highlighted hotspots areas. By when a burglary does occur conducting community reassurance.

A high value burglary was reported in Croft recently. Valuables including watches, jewellery and alcohol believed to be over £30K were amongst items taken. Local Officers completed house to house enquiries and a CCTV trawl. Very good footage has been obtained of the 2 suspects and Officers are looking to identify both males.
