Crimes and priorities

Priority:
Action taken:
-
Priority:
Drug dealing.
Action taken:
Officers continue to carry out high-visibility patrols in areas where concerns about drug-related activity have been raised. These patrols help identify those involved in offending, provide reassurance to residents and allow officers to take action where there are lawful grounds to do so. This may include stop and searches. A stop and search is a police power that allows officers to search a person for items such as illegal drugs, weapons or stolen property when certain legal conditions are met. Where controlled drugs are found, offenders are dealt with appropriately, which may include an out-of-court disposal for lower-level offences. Through ongoing patrols and enforcement activity, officers continue to tackle drug-related crime and antisocial behaviour within the community.

Priority:
E-scooters/Bikes.
Action taken:
Officers continue to take action against the illegal and antisocial use of nuisance motorcycles and off-road vehicles. Targeted patrols and enforcement activity have resulted in several vehicles being seized, helping to reduce antisocial behaviour and improve community safety. Officers also continue to identify and deal with individuals using vehicles unlawfully or in a manner that causes concern to local residents.
During a recent patrol, officers stopped an illegally used e-bike, which was subsequently seized. The rider was reported for driving without a licence, driving without insurance and failing to stop when required by police. Through ongoing patrols, enforcement activity and community engagement, officers remain committed to tackling dangerous and unlawful vehicle use and improving safety within the community.

Through ongoing patrols, enforcement and engagement with the community, officers continue to work to make local roads safer for everyone.
