Issued: 20 May 2026
Status Update
• Increased proactive high-visibility and plain clothed patrols.

• A man – wanted for four months - was arrested on 6 May by officers on routine patrol in Foxcroft on suspicion of vehicle interference.
• Working with the Co-op to reduce shoplifting – which is part of a national issue.

Vehicle related anti-social behaviour at Starbucks and the A414 North Orbital Road.
This is a long-term neighbourhood priority involving vehicle related anti-social driving, illegal car meets and excessive noise along the A405 in Chiswell Green.
Issued: 20 May 2026
Status Update
• We have been working on this complex long-term neighbourhood priority with Starbucks, Herts Highways, Herts County Council, local councillors, local residents, Burston Garden Centre and the PCCs office for many years.
• Acoustic monitoring technology was installed last year, which measures vehicles emitting noise above the legal threshold, funded by the Police and Crime Commissioner. St Albans Neighbourhood officers have been the driving force behind the new technology being installed.
• Since the cameras have been in place, the number of reports of anti-social driving has reduced.
