Theft and shoplifting.

Local policing teams are using Community Behaviour Orders (CBO) alongside prosecuting for theft and associated offences in order to tackle offending behaviour. In recent months, successful investigations have resulted in prolific shoplifters receiving custodial sentences as a result of local investigations into shoplifting. Investigations continue and further applications for CBOs will be made to deal with prolific offending.

Nuisance motorcycles and off-road bikes.

Working with partners such as housing, we are collating details of bikes and descriptions of offenders. Through the use of CCTV, drones and fixed wing aircraft in conjunction with our road crime officers to track and locate offending bikes and offenders, a number of vehicle seizures and prosecutions have been made. We are continuing to use anti-social behaviour legislation to seize and destroy bikes as well as issuing Community Protection Warnings/Notices to tackle repeat offenders. This work is ongoing.
