There is an on-going issues with criminal gangs targetting customers of the nightclub, stealing their phones and property and dealing controlled drugs.

Action

Targetted patrols during hours of operation. Partnership working with the local authority for increased patrols from Parkguard and Nightsafe.
Op LECTURA officers to maintain fixed posts at the location during hours of operation and up to and beyond closing time.

Issue

Exmouth Market - There has been a noticable uplift in anti-social behaviour and thefts in and around Exmouth Market

Action

Increased high-visibility patrols of the area, liaison with local schools prior to the break for the summer holiday, as the reports of ASB are predominantly to do with youths.
Ongoing engagement with local businesses in order to get them on board with reporting new incidents and providing CCTV and statements in relation to the thefts their businesses are suffering from.

Issue

Wilmington Sq/Granville Sq/Percy Circus - Ongoing reports of drug misuse and dealing of controlled drugs in this area.

Action

Police are actively patrolling and targetting this area, with a mix of uniform and plain clothes patrol, in order to proactively target those dealing controlled drugs in the area.
Liaision with St Mungo's hostels on Rosebery Avenue and Wharton Street as there is a belief that some of their residents are involved in this behaviour.
