Crime in upper gornal and woodsetton, dudley

We have been tackling Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) in and around the High Street. Co-operation from local businesses have proven to bring forth positive identification of offenders, allowing us to pursue warnings and beyond, should they be known/repeat offenders. We also have the support of other teams, providing support for patrols when we are on rest days. Dudley North Neighbourhood Team have been carrying out a number of plain clothes patrols around the area, in order to identify any offenders. We will continue to take a proactive stance towards the ASB issues.

Community Speedwatch will also be utilised around the Sedgley area, in order to issues warnings to speeding motorists. A number of these have already been carried out and have been received well within the community.

With the Summer months and lighter nights now approaching, we will see a rise in demand and calls for service, and we will endeavour to include all hotspots in our patrol strategies.

Targeted patrols will continue in our hotspot areas in order to deter youths hanging around and causing ASB issues. We have been actively engaging with any youths seen out and about, and educating them to the issues that they are causing.

Community Speedwatches will be taking place and drivers will be given warnings and/or educated regarding their actions.

Increased patrols will be taking place around the local shops to prevent further shoplifting offences, as well as plain clothes operations. A number of shop lifting offenders have recently been arrested due to the Dudley North Neighbourhood Team taking a proactive stance against this issue.
