Local Priorities
We have recently seen some rural burglaries in which quad bikes, machinery and tools have been stolen. We believe those responsible are from wider force areas, we are working with neighbouring forces to tackle the issue.
Issued: 8 Apr 2026
Status Update
We have created Operation Passage which is our response to these burglaries. This will see an increase in police patrols in the area, with officers looking to proactively stop those in the Dales looking to commit crime. The Richmondshire Community Safety Hub are involved in the response to the burglaries, along with prevention. They will be offering crime prevention advice and tools to those vulnerable to crime. Should you like a visit from the local team, and would like some of your valuables marked with your details please get in touch through the website and somebody will be in touch.
We have recovered a number of stolen vehicles and made several arrests.
Actioned: 21 May 2026
Although we have a relatively low crime rate in relation to shop theft in the Richmond area, we do believe some offences go unreported. All retail businesses now have a dedicated point of contact from the local neighbourhood team, where they are provided with advice on crime prevention, and encouraged to report any suspicious activity.
Reported offences will be investigated and suspects pursued.
Issued: 8 Apr 2026
Status Update
Officers will be on regular patrol in Richmond, particularly on foot around the market place. Please report any suspicious persons to them, or report through on 101 to allow officers to attend the area and deter any criminal activity.

We will use uniformed and plain clothes patrols to identify offenders and to provide reassurance.
Issued: 8 Apr 2026
Status Update
Please remain vigilant when enjoying your night time events, and report any anti social behaviour through to the police immediately.
