Kings Hill

Theft - shoplifting.

Local officers continue to work closely with supermarkets and other retail businesses to tackle shop theft and identify repeat offenders.

Reports of shop theft are regularly reviewed, allowing officers to obtain CCTV footage quickly and progress investigations. Where suitable images are available, they are used to help identify suspects and support ongoing enquiries.

Officers also maintain regular contact with shop staff, encouraging the prompt reporting of offences and the sharing of information about suspicious activity. This partnership approach helps build intelligence, identify prolific offenders and support investigations.

Regular patrols in retail areas provide a visible deterrent, reassure staff and customers, and help reduce the impact of shop theft on local businesses and the wider community.

Antisocial behaviour - general.

Following reports of off-road motorcycles causing antisocial behaviour and damage at Kings Hill Sports Park, officers have carried out a range of enquiries to identify those responsible.

This has included speaking with local residents, carrying out house-to-house enquiries and requesting CCTV footage or other information that may assist the investigation. Officers are also gathering intelligence to identify where the motorcycles are being stored and the routes being used to access the park.

Enquiries remain ongoing, and all information received is being reviewed to help identify those involved. Where offenders are identified, appropriate action will be taken.

Officers remain committed to tackling antisocial behaviour, addressing community concerns and helping to protect local public spaces from further damage.

Road safety.

Local officers have continued proactive road safety enforcement across Kings Hill, using information from Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras and reports from the community to identify offending vehicles and drivers.

A number of drivers have been dealt with for offences including driving without insurance, using untaxed vehicles and driving without a valid MOT. Where offences have been identified, officers have issued Traffic Offence Reports. A Traffic Offence Report is a formal report used when a driver is suspected of committing a road traffic offence.

Marked police patrols have also targeted key routes within the area, identifying drivers using mobile phones while driving and taking appropriate enforcement action. Officers have also stopped vehicles being driven in an antisocial manner, issuing warnings where appropriate and gathering information to support future enforcement activity.

This ongoing work aims to improve road safety, deter offending and help keep Kings Hill's roads safe for all road users.
