Anti-social behaviour (ASB), including vandalism, off-road bikes and youth-related nuisance behaviour is an ongoing priority.

Issued: 31 Aug 2025

Status Update

Officers have worked alongside Sainsburys in High Street to address anti-social behaviour in and around the store.
Officers are also taking a partnership approach to tackle the root cause of behaviour, as well as using both criminal and civil powers to tackle this issue. Increased patrols and intelligence gathering around off-road biking is being used to catch and deter this type of anti-social behaviour.

We are aware that the local press have reported damage to grassed areas in the Biddulph area during the weekend of 15th November. Police have not had any reports recently relating to off-road bikes and would encourage the public to report any issues.

Actioned: 31 Jan 2026

Theft affecting businesses in Biddulph. Through recent scanning and analysis, we've identified retailers in and around Tunstall Road as a repeat location for theft-related incidents.

- Use of CCTV and intelligence sharing
