Anti-social behaviour and shop theft around supermarkets in the Longbridge shopping area.

Addressing these issues and supporting local businesses is a priority for us. We are working closely with local shops via a shop watch scheme to support their security measures including offering crime prevention advice during our increased patrols and adopting a pop up crime prevention stall as often as possible. We are also working towards issuing Community Protection Warnings (CPW) as a preventative measure for those causing asb and also arresting those that commit thefts from stores.
