Ironville and Riddings Crime Intelligence

Over the next three months NPT and Partners will be working together, sharing information enabling positive action on those individuals causing the most harm, carrying out patrols in the area and engagement with members of the public.

Priority
Drug Dealing and Anti-Social Behaviour

Eastwood South

Police Operations
A drug warrant was executed at an address in Newthorpe. Although no controlled drugs were located on this occasion, officers took time to speak with local residents to provide reassurance and offer advice around reporting drug-related concerns and anti-social behaviour. We remain committed to acting on intelligence provided by the community.

Joint Partnership Operation
Your local NPT has supported Immigration Enforcement, the National Crime Agency, and East Midlands Special Operations in a joint operation across Nottinghamshire.
During checks at a car wash in Nuthall, an illegal worker was detained, and a civil penalty notice was issued to the employer. Illegal working is often linked to organised crime and the exploitation of vulnerable people, and these joint operations are essential to disrupting such criminal activity and sending a clear message that enforcement action will be taken.

April
Priorities:
Drug dealing and ASB, Eastwood South

Drugs Warrant Executed in Eastwood
Officers executed a drugs warrant on Harvest Road, Eastwood, where cannabis, mobile phones, and cash were seized. The investigation remains ongoing as enquiries continue.

Anti Social Behaviour Continues to Fall
Anti social behaviour (ASB) has reduced by 24.4% year to date. The Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) has been actively patrolling key areas, targeting individuals responsible for repeated ASB, and working closely with partner agencies through multi agency meetings. These combined efforts have contributed significantly to the continued reduction in ASB across the area.

News:
The Neighbourhood Policing Team has had a busy month supporting football operations, managing protest activity, attending community events, and working closely with local schools. Reassurance patrols were carried out following recent “School Wars” concerns, and reassuringly, no violence incidents were reported in connection with this.

Robbery Offences Addressed
There has been a recent increase in robbery offences affecting local businesses. Officers have been working closely with these businesses after incidents where individuals stole items and threatened staff. Following a thorough investigation, police identified two juveniles responsible. Both have been arrested and placed on bail with conditions, including not associating with each other and not entering the victims’ premises.

Prolific Offender Arrested for Breaching Criminal Behaviour Order
Police have arrested prolific offender Lee Keeton for breaching his Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO). Keeton was involved in anti-social behaviour in Beeston Town Centre, including abusive conduct towards the public. This type of behaviour will not be tolerated. As a result of this incident, Keeton was sent to prison, and his CBO has been extended with an additional prohibitive term. More details are available on the link.

Joint Patrols Helping Reduce ASB
Police and partners — including Waste Investigation Support and Enforcement (WISE) wardens and Broxtowe Borough Council — have been conducting joint patrols aimed at deterring anti-social behaviour and crime. This collaborative approach is having a positive impact, with ASB incidents reduced by 26.6% year-to-date.

News
We would like to recognise some outstanding work by NPT PC Harry Brown, who made an arrest while off duty. Harry was out shopping with his family when he spotted a prolific shoplifter he knew was wanted by police for several theft offences. Despite having no police equipment with him — including no handcuffs — Harry acted decisively and safely detained the suspect. Harry’s commitment and bravery demonstrate his dedication to keeping our communities safe, both on and off duty. We are extremely proud of his actions. For further details, see the link.

Drugs Warrants Executed in Eastwood
Police have recently executed two drugs warrants on Manor Road, Eastwood. During one of these warrants, officers recovered a quantity of Class A drugs. A suspect has been interviewed, and the investigation remains ongoing.

Anti Social Behaviour Continues to Fall
Anti-social behaviour (ASB) incidents have reduced by 26.6% year-to-date, which is positive news for the community. Our continued partnership work with Broxtowe Borough Council and local Youth Services has contributed significantly to this reduction, particularly through their effective outreach engagement with young people.

Action on Problem Tenancies
Police are also working closely with Housing colleagues to take firm action against tenants who allow their properties to be used for crime or ASB. This can include the termination of tenancy agreements and, where necessary, eviction.
