Crime in Gaddesby, Melton

SAFETY ON OUR ROADS: Every quarter, the Rural North Beat Team review the beats current priorities and what matters to you the most. This is done through social media, neighbourhood link surveys, community consultations and much more. Road Safety is something that is raised often and remains a policing priority for the the rural north area.

As part of the latest quarterly review, this priority will remain in place until the next quarterly review in January 2026.

Burglaries and Rural Crime

The Rural North Beat, as its name suggests, covers a predominantly rural area. We recognise that thefts affecting individuals and businesses can have a significant impact—not only on those directly involved, but also on the wider community and local industries.

From your feedback, we understand that issues such as hare coursing, burglaries, thefts from farms and agricultural vehicles, and heritage crime are key concerns. These will continue to be a priority for us.

As part of our quarterly review process, this priority will remain in place from March 2026 until the next review in 3 months

Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB):

Through various community engagement channels, including our official social media platforms, public meetings, Neighbourhood Link surveys, active investigations and beat surgeries, residents have recently raised increased concerns about ongoing anti-social behaviour in certain areas of the beat.

This includes issues such as public disorder, nuisance behaviour, and occasionally incidents of intimidation in public spaces.

The feedback highlights a strong desire for increased police visibility, targeted patrols, and collaborative problem-solving to tackle these behaviours, improve community safety, and reassure local residents.
