Status Update
April Update:
Officers have been working with key Partnership agencies and businesses to disrupt and deal with a range of issues linked to residential premises in the area. This included the enforcement of a Court ordered Closure Order and anti-social behaviour at a number of other addresses. This involves regular disruption visits, gathering evidence and utilising both civil and criminal legislation to take positive action.
A number of children have been causing issues in the area, so after investigating reports and identifying those involved, criminal proceedings were initiated and the Youth Justice Process has been initiated for appropriate punitive and supportive action to be taken.
March Update:
Officers have been visiting businesses in the area and speaking with witnesses, to identify the group of children that have been offending in the area. Officers have visited the home address of any identified children to liaise with parents and offer warnings and education. Neighbourhood and Patrol Officers have both increased their presence in the area and taken positive action by returning children home and also making arrests when criminal offences have been committed.

The team regularly consult with partner agencies about the safety and welfare of many vulnerable residents. Officers have been conducting checks at addresses where there were concerns of cuckooing or exploitation, submitting appropriate referrals for support or taking positive action as necessary to protect the residents.
March Update:
Officers have conducted multiple visits to a problematic address on Mudeford Lane, searching people and property and making arrests to maximise disruption and limit the negative impact on the community. Two prolific offenders that had been threatening people and using violence against others, were both arrested for various offences.
