Drug offences and drug related crimes such as violence and theft. Agreed at Police Liaison Group community meeting on 12/06/2025

The Ward Team encourages the community to continue reporting criminal and Anti-Social Behaviour linked to illegal drugs. We have followed up on information given to us and targeted our patrols around any identified "Hot Spots". We have made arrests of those identified to be using our community to use, buy or sell illegal drugs. We have worked closely with local affected businesses to ensure all crime is reported and any evidence captured. We have used this evidence to prosecute those committing drug related crimes in our community and deter others from doing so.

Theft from motor vehicles and theft of motor vehicles. Agreed at Police Liaison Group community meeting on 16/06/2025.

We have monitored crime patterns closely and used this information to patrol any emerging "Hot Spots". We have given crime prevention advice to residents in affected areas and conducted patrols to identify unlocked vehicles at risk, alerting the vehicle owners.
We have reviewed vehicle crime reports to ensure all enquiries are completed and used our local policing knowledge to identify offenders when possible.

Residential Burglary. Agreed at Police Liaison Group community meeting on 12/06/2025.

We will continue to visit every burglary victim and make local enquiries to secure any available evidence. We will continue to offer crime prevention advice around this crime.
