The beat team aim to tackle different elements of ASB in Anstey, Thurcaston, Cropston and Newtown Linford.

The beat team have been patrolling the following ASB hotspot areas over the past month:

Both allotments in Anstey

Gorse Hill, Anstey

The sports field off Netherfield Road / Link Road in Anstey

Bradgate Park

Papermill Close and Recreational ground in Anstey

There have been recent reports of knock door running around the village of Anstey by youths, patrols have been stepped up in response, as well as patrols being upped around the Groby Road allotments due to reports of trespass and ASB. We are seeing the numbers of incidents reported falling in these areas due to an arrest that was made regarding the suspect to the majority of these incidents, which is great news. This suspect will be spending the next couple of months or so in prison out of the way!  Warning letters have been handed to residents in relation to a disturbance at an address which has so far seen reports of further issues stop. Police have had sporadic reports of drug use in various parts of Anstey. We continue to act on those reports and also to build an intelligence picture where suspected dealing is occurring to assist with future enforcement operations.
