Seizure of vehicles with no insurance.
Working with council partners and private business to make car parks less desirable due to mitigaton option such as speed humps, lockable gates etc.

Issue

Bury Lodge Wet Lands and environs have been identified as an area where drug taking/dealing occurs and this has led to an increase in gang activity in this area.

BHP officers will continue to patrol this area and work with residents of the new housing on Sayersbury Way.

Issue

Conduct High Visibility Presence. Attended to speak with victims of burglary via reassurance calls, observe for cameras in the vicinity and encourage home owners to forward possible audio visual evidence (via EVIDENCE invite)to police. Engagement via social media (Online Watch Link and X), give crime prevention advice to victims and letting the public aware of related incidents in the area. Getting people to engage in new strategies to improving their home security.

Action

Officers from this ward will shortly undergo cycle training, this will give the team more flexibilty to attend and patrol hot spot areas.
Recent night time deployments of the areas have allowed officers to patrol at times when this crime is more likely to be committed.
