Following a survey by residents in Bonney Road, it was highlighted that youths riding stolen motorcycles and causing ASB are a regular problem and represents a serious danger to local residents.

Officers have made some high priority arrests after some excellent investigative work. Drugs and weapons have been recovered and taken off the streets.
We are working closely with partner agencies to target those who have been identified to be causing most harm in the area.
This work is continuing, including hot spot patrolling.
A community meeting was held on 13th November at Team HUB on St Oswald's road.
We have visited individuals with the CCE team to address possible vulnerabilities. -

To reduce and prevent theft from stores and support local businesses with retail crime.
Action taken:
The team have conducted a number activities as part of our response to the retail crime week of action. This included a number of beat surgeries at CO-OP Aikman Avenue, CO-OP Sharmon Crescent, Tesco Ryder Road and One Stop Stephenson Drive and the beat surgeries are ongoing.
The team have recently successfully been granted a Criminal Behaviour Order for our most prominent offender.
We will continue to target those causing harm to the retail sector and seek positive outcomes and the recovery of stolen items. -

You’ve told us through surveys and local engagements that drug dealing and general anti social behaviour in and around the Burns flats, Aikman Avenue is an issue.

The team are also working with local schools and the community safety team regarding youths who have been identified as causing harm in the community.
