Wayfield and Weeds Wood

E-scooters/bikes.

Since the last survey, officers have identified several vehicles involved in antisocial driving and road traffic offences in the area. Through targeted vehicle checks and action based on information received from the public, officers have taken a range of measures, including providing driver education, issuing Traffic Offence Reports for suspected driving offences, and seizing vehicles that were being used in a way that caused nuisance or concern. This work has helped tackle repeat offending, reduce the impact on local communities and improve residents' quality of life.

Nuisance youths.

Officers have been working with young people involved in persistent antisocial behaviour, using a combination of support, engagement and enforcement where appropriate. In some cases, Community Protection Warnings have been issued. These are formal warnings used to address behaviour that is having a negative impact on the local community and can lead to further action if the behaviour continues. Officers have also used stop and search powers where lawful and necessary to help prevent offences, tackle antisocial behaviour and keep the community safe.

Drug dealing.

Following information provided by the community, officers have carried out targeted activity to tackle suspected drug-related crime in the area. This has included stopping vehicles linked to reports and intelligence, allowing officers to investigate concerns, disrupt suspected criminal activity and reduce the harm that drug-related offending can cause to local communities.
