Current Priorities
Issue
Burglary and vehicle crime is an ongoing priority.
Action
Local officers are reviewing all reports of vehicle crime and burglary, supported by our forensics and detective colleagues. This ensures that our operational activities are driven through the criminal justice processes to achieve the best outcome for the public. Our officers continue to make key arrests through detailed investigations, and bringing offenders to justice. This is ongoing.
Issue
Anti-social behaviour (ASB), including vandalism, off-road bikes and youth related nuisance behaviour is an ongoing priority.
Action
Officers have worked alongside Sainsburys in High Street to address anti-social behaviour in and around the store.
Officers are also taking a partnership approach to tackle the root cause of behaviour, as well as using both criminal and civil powers to tackle this issue. Increased patrols and intelligence gathering around off-road biking is being used to catch and deter this type of anti-social behaviour.
