An individual was arrested for farming cannabis and was also arrested for an unrelated matter, the address has been cleared and the cannabis destroyed.

We have been made aware of a number of vehicles parked across the estate which don't have relevant documents, and also e-scooters, bikes and vehicles moving dangerously and in an anti-social manner.

A report has recently been made of an individual using a vehicle in an anti-social manner in the Oakland Road area, a vehicle has been identified and work with local businesses will be completed to determine who is involved.

We have been made aware of continued Anti-Social Behaviour in the green spaces across the Freemen beat. Officers will be visiting local schools and reconnecting with businesses on the beat.
We are continuing with this priority as the evenings are getting lighter.
