Officers have increased evening patrols in key hotspot areas identified through recent crime reports and information from the community. These targeted patrols provide a visible police presence at peak times, help deter opportunistic crime, and allow officers to respond quickly to suspicious activity. As a result of this focused work, reports of vehicle‑related crime, including theft from vehicles and interference with parked cars, have reduced.

The team continues to work closely with residents, Neighbourhood Watch groups and partner agencies to identify any emerging issues early and respond appropriately. This reduction reflects both effective patrols and strong community engagement.

The local beat officer has visited a person known to be involved in the antisocial use of an e‑scooter. During the visit, advice was given about the law, safe use, and the consequences of continued misuse, including potential enforcement action. The issue has also been discussed at the District Contextual Safeguarding Meeting so that partner agencies are aware and able to share relevant information.

Further work is ongoing to identify others linked to recent reports, using CCTV opportunities and information from the community where available.

A dedicated day of action is also being planned to focus on e‑scooter and e‑bike misuse. This will include high‑visibility patrols, engagement and targeted enforcement to address concerns raised by residents and help prevent further issues.
