Crime in norcot, reading

This new priority has been identified following reports to the team from the local community. The team will focus on this issue as one of our priorities over the next 3 months by increasing our patrols, disrupting anti-social behaviour and identifying those involved in criminality.

Continuing the investigation that we updated about last month, a number of youths have now been identified by local secondary schools. The team will be completing home visits to these youths to speak to both them and their parents in relation to their behaviour.

Following on from our last update the team can report that we have continued to patrol this area. This has led to a number of stop searches as well as the arrest of a male in relation to drug offences. We will continue to target patrols in this area.

This is a new priority and relates to a number of reports, by residents, that they have seen an increase in drug usage and dealing in the area of Firs End in Tilehurst.

The team will be planning a number of measures to tackle this issue and will update at the end of the month with progress.

The team have proactively patrolled this area over the last month and will continue to do so. At this stage we have not encountered any usage or dealing in this area. We will continue to target the area.

This is a new priority for the team.

Following an online survey, residents have stated that there is a consistent problem with E-Scooters and E-Bikes in the area of Langley Hill.

The team will be conducting regular targeted patrols in the area and seizing illegal E-Scooters and E-Bikes.

Following this, the team have continued to patrol the area and recently seized an E-Scooter in the Tilehurst area. This will continue to be a priority and will lead to further patrols in the area.
