Crimes and priorities
-
Priority:
Action taken:
-
Priority:
Anti-social behaviour in the area of Victoria Park.
Action taken:
We have increased our presence in the area to deter and/or detect offences. Because of this, we were in a position to deal with groups of individuals committing ASB. We continue to patrol to offer that visible presence.
-
Priority:
Identifying the most vulnerable members of our communities and ensuring they are signposted to the right support.
Action taken:
We have identified several vulnerable people this month, who have been referred to partner agencies for consideration of what support they can offer. We have also planned events at residential homes to provide crime prevention and supportive advice.
-
Priority:
Theft and shoplifting, particularly on Queens Road.
Action taken:
Our Safer Streets team have been working with retailers to increase confidence in reporting crime and ensuring that they are supporting investigations by submitting their CCTV footage. This has resulted in more suspects being identified and dealt with. During June and July, 30 shop thefts were reported on Queens Road and so far we have charged people in relation to 15 of them - with more positive results still to come!
We have also carried out early morning plain clothes patrols, which has resulted in the arrest of regulars that keep returning. One of those was charged and remanded to court due to his persistent offending.
