Anti-Social Behavior in and around Braunstone Park has been identified as a priority concern based on the feedback from the local community.

The beat team are continuing to tackle Anti-social Behaviour-ASB in the area of Braunstone Park. At this time we are still seeing youths with face coverings throwing eggs and other items at passing vehicles particularly on Cort Crescent and now on near to the underpass at Gallards Hill.
We have dedicated patrols in the area as a result and have sought assistance from our wider Neighbourhood Policing Colleagues and response Teams. We are working closely with local shops and Council CCTV to identify those responsible.
As an update I can say that 2 youths have been dealt with for causing Criminal Damage at Winstanley House and have been issued Community Resolutions as well as Anti-social behaviour warning letters. Their parents have also been advised that ongoing issues may result in sanctions on them if they cannot control their children's behaviour.

From viewing crime data there is currently an identified problem with Thefts from vehicles in the vicinity of Narborough Road and the surrounding side streets.

Since this priority was introduced the Beat Team and our colleagues from other policing departments have been increasing patrols and using our Stop Search Powers where appropriate.
We had 19 reported crimes in September alone regarding this issue and we are pleased to say that this has slowed significantly to just 4 crimes reported in November.

We continue using social media to highlight the issue and will continue with our hot-spot patrols in the area to deter and apprehend those who think they can break into people's cars and take what they want.
Remember, the simple things can make a difference. Make sure you lock your vehicle and don't leave valuables on display, making you the next target.

Through Neighbourhood Link and surveys, you have told us that drug dealing and usage at addresses across the Braunstone and Rowley Fields area is still an ongoing concern and problem that you want us to keep as a priority.

This priority was retained due to the amount of people who have indicted this to still be one of the main priorities and their concerns. So lets just carry on where we left off.

PC Chelsea has recently arrested a male concerned in the supply of Class A drugs from an address on the beat. This person was charged with possession of an offensive weapon and possession of Class B - Cannabis. He is back in HMP as a result.

PCSO Beth, along with assistance from a PCSO on a neighbouring beat, located a cannabis grow on Wolverton Road. Once it was made safe by partner agencies, PCs George, Chelsea, Ryan and response officers seized all plants and equipment. The investigation is continuing.

Sgt Graeme is due in court on 11th December for a Possession Hearing. The tenant of an address on the Blackmore Drive estate has been the subject of a lengthy investigation between Police and Leicester City Council Community Safety Team after years of Drug related anti-social behaviour at the address and we will update you further next month once the result of the court hearing is known.
