Op LECTURA officers to maintain fixed posts at the location during hours of operation and up to and beyond closing time.

Issue

Cuckooing is a behaviour where a person or persons control and or intimidate a vulnerable person in order to use their address for anti-social and or illegal activties.

Action

Police are proactively monitorning new reports coming in to establish if they may be linked to cuckooing.
When this is identified, officers will be adopting a multi-agency approach to provide support and assistance to the persons affected and taking positive action to identify, detain and prosecute those suspected of this behaviour.

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.
