Crimes and priorities

Priority:
Road safety, noise disturbance and nuisance motorcycles.
Action taken:
Officers continue to work with partners to address concerns about nuisance vehicles in Hoath Way, Wigmore Road and Finberry. In response to reports from residents, officers have carried out targeted patrols, gathered vehicle details and developed intelligence to identify those responsible for antisocial vehicle use. This work has led to the issuing of Section 59 warnings and the seizure of vehicles where offences have been identified. A Section 59 warning can be issued when a vehicle is being used in a way that causes alarm, distress or annoyance to others, and continued offending may result in the vehicle being seized. Officers continue to work with partner organisations and local representatives to explore longer-term solutions, while information submitted by residents helps support ongoing investigations and enforcement activity.
-
Priority:
E-scooters and E-bikes.
Action taken:
Officers have increased their presence in key locations across Gillingham, including around Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre, to tackle the illegal use of e-bikes and e-scooters. Targeted patrols and enforcement activity have resulted in several vehicles being seized where offences have been identified. Officers also continue to work closely with local businesses and security staff to share information, address concerns and support ongoing efforts to improve safety and reduce antisocial behaviour in the area.
-
Priority:
Theft-shoplifting.
Action taken:
Officers continue to work with local retailers and businesses to tackle shoplifting and support crime prevention. Regular engagement with store staff helps officers identify offenders, gather information and take appropriate action where offences have been committed. This partnership approach supports intelligence gathering, helps target repeat offenders and improves safety for businesses, staff and customers. Officers remain committed to working with residents, businesses and partner organisations to address concerns and reduce the impact of retail crime on the local community.
