Status Update

From feedback in the community we are aware that vehicle crime is an issue and there has been an increase particularly just before Christmas. To combat this we have set up a Winter of Action Plan which aims at increasing patrols at key times to target offenders and this has included plain clothes officers working in the area. We have also been working closely with the neighbouring Forces and areas to tackle the issue from a more joined up perspective.
