Current Priorities

Issue

Following a recent survey by residents in Bonney Road it was highlighted that youths riding stolen motorcycles are a regular problem and represents a serious danger to local residents.

Action

Officers have made some high priority arrests after some excellent investigative work. Drugs and weapons have been recovered and taken off the streets.
We are working closely with partner agencies to target those who have been identified to be causing most harm in the area.
This work will continue throughout November.
Community meeting was held on 13th November at Team HUB on St Oswald's road.
Throughout the month the team have conducted hotspot patrolling. We have carried out an engagement event with residents and also had individuals visited by the CCE team to address possible vulnerabilities.

Issue

To reduce and prevent theft from stores and support local businesses with retail crime.

Action

During the week commencing 14th October, the team conducted a number activities as part of our response to the retail crime week of action. This included a number of beat surgeries at CO-OP Aikman Avenue, CO-OP Sharmon Crescent, Tesco Ryder Road and One Stop Stephenson Drive.
During November we have been a visible presence at the stores within the beat, monitoring repeat offenders with visits and are seeking assistance from the courts with Criminal Behaviour Order for our most prominent offender.
We will continue to target those causing harm to the retail sector and seek positive outcomes and the recovery of stolen items.

Issue

You’ve told us through surveys and local engagements that drug dealing and general anti social behaviour in and around the Burns flats, Aikman Avenue is an issue.

Action

The beats team have been conducting patrols throughout the throughout October and have held regular beat surgeries at the community rooms, within the flats.
The beat are also working with local schools regarding youths who have identified as causing harm in the community and with the community safety team.
During November the team have been working well within the community and with Team hub to try and identify vulnerable persons who could be targeted for cuckooing. We have conducted targeted patrols both high visibility and plain clothes. Intelligence has been developed and the team are exploring enforcement opportunities.
