Crime in Rossall, Wyre

This is a much wider concern for communities across Wyre, Lancashire and indeed nationally.

Your Wyre NHPT are working closely with partners including Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service, Wyre Borough Council and Lancashire Road Safety Partnership to conduct operations targeting these vehicles, education and positive action where appropriate.

Lancashire Constabulary have also recently acquired Six on and off-road bikes, equipped with lights and sirens, that will support officers working on Operation Centurion, a county-wide initiative targeting anti-social behaviour including the illegal use of e-bikes, e-scooters, and general motorbike nuisance.

ASB

Op Centurion is Lancashire Police’s answer to ASB, with dedicated patrols in identified areas across Wyre. Specialist antisocial behaviour (ASB) cars are regularly tasked in the Wyre area, including Park Ward.

Identified hotspots or repeat areas are also discussed with partners at youth and adult ASB meetings.

Wyre NHPT have also made great use of civil orders of late to deal with ASB. Across the Wyre area, this has included Community Protection Warnings, Community Protection Notices, Civil Injunctions, Criminal Behaviour Orders and even Closure Orders at properties causing and linked to ASB and Crime.
Wyre has also seen a steady decline in ASB reported incidents.

Drugs

Wyre NHPT are proactive in their targeting of drug related activity.

We tackle all drug related activity head on in Wyre and deal robustly with those involved. Since the start of 2023 we have seized nearly £4 million pounds worth of drugs, taken over £370,000 in cash off Organised Crime Groups and made over 250 arrests of high risk offenders and people linked to drug supply who have received over 100 years in sentences.

We will continue to tackle drugs use at all levels and work with local and national partners to provide support, guidance and education around drug use.
