Nailsea Youngwood Crime Intelligence

We have been receiving reports of the illegal use of these vehicles in Nailsea at various locations.

If you have any information about criminality or issues in your area or would like more information, please contact us using the form at the bottom of our team page.

You can report non-urgent crime online: www.avonandsomerset.police.uk/report UPDATES

Officers have been attending various locations, conducting hi-visibility patrols and dealing positively with any offences found in the area.

We continue to patrol on a regular basis but rely on the public to report any issues and would encourage residents to report online and by ringing 101 or 999 in an emergency.

As a neighbourhood policing team, we are continuously seeking new avenues to engage with the community and facilitate open communication. Currently, we host a monthly 'Talk to Us' event at the Parish Council Offices; however, we are eager to expand our outreach to involve more residents and gather their feedback.

Should you have any suggestions on how we might increase our engagement opportunities, or if you are aware of a club or group that could benefit from police contact, please do not hesitate to contact us by email through the force website, selecting the ‘My Area’ option.

The night-time economy in policing is invariably a busy period, particularly during weekends. The Nailsea neighbourhood policing team is dedicated to maintaining community safety and will respond firmly to any incidents that arise, with a particular focus on offences related to alcohol and drugs.

We have seen an increase in the number of burglaries across the North Somerset region, where the primary target is to obtain keys for high end vehicles.

If you have a vehicle that cannot be stored in a garage or behind a barrier and its parked on your driveway or in the street then the following advice should be followed to reduce the risk of your vehicle being stolen.

• Don’t keep any valuables on view in the vehicle overnight. If you do need to keep items in the vehicle, put them in the boot.
• Keep your car keys upstairs, ideally in the room you are sleeping in. Criminals don’t want to venture upstairs as this increases the risk of a confrontation with the occupants.
• If you are using a keyless remote, keep in in a ‘faraday pouch’ so it cannot be copied.
• If you see anyone hanging around your or your neighbours property, especially if they are taking an interest in vehicles, ring the police on 101 straight away to report it.
• If you don’t have external lighting or cameras, consider having them installed, making sure you comply with regulations on their use.

We’ve had a number of reports and intelligence around the selling of vapes to underage Children which is illegal.

If you are aware of any person or business doing this, you can report it to us by ringing 101, report online or use the ‘Contact Us’ form at the bottom of this page.
