Freemen

Drugs – We have executed a number of drug warrants in the local area in the past few months, but we are aware it is still a prevalent issue. Officers will continue to make this a priority, building intelligence to disrupt dealing and deal with offenders.

As part of the Clear Hold Build, Safer Saffron initiative launched to tackle organised crime in the estate there has been a total of six warrants executed resulting in seven arrests of over £10,000 worth of drugs seized and destroyed.
The team will continue to conduct high visible patrols in hotspot areas to disrupt and deter those who use and supply drugs.
Don't forget that you can pass information to us anonymously at www.crimestoppers-uk.org

ASB – You have told us you are concerned ASB on Maris Lane and TickTock park will increase now the summer is upon us. Officers will be in these areas carrying out pro-active patrols to reduce ASB related issues. They will be working with partner agencies and local schools to educate and engage with young people.

The local team have continued to conduct proactive patrols in open space areas through the summer holidays. We are pleased to report that issues in the Maris Lane area have significantly reduced, and the open report has since been closed.
A verbal warning was issued to an individual after an increase in reports of ASB in the Neston Road and this has prevented any further issues.

Off road bikes – You have told us that e-scooters and off -road bikes are being ridden across TickTock park and dangerously around the estate. With the nights getting lighter, we will be carrying out patrols to try and tackle this issue.
The beat team is working closely with the Eyres Monsell beat team to share information on nuisance motorbikes

We are still seeing several reports regarding off road bikes being ridden on Tick Tock Park despite efforts from the local team. One motorbike was recently seized however for being ridden without insurance and a valid driving license after it failed to stop for police.
Visible patrols of Tick Tock Park will continue as will work with the local community and partner agencies to deter and deal those who ride off road bikes with an operation (OP YATTER) still in place.
