Crime in Alderbury & Whiteparish, Wiltshire

High Visibility Patrols, alongside partnership working between Wiltshire Police, Wiltshire Council, Salisbury BID, and other partner agencies. These days of action will help tackle business crime and anti-social behaviour, which are having a significant impact on individual businesses as well as for the wider community. The Salisbury Business Crime Reduction Partnership (BCRP) is a collaborative initiative between the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, Salisbury BID, Wiltshire Police, and local authorities.

The continued implementation of the PSPO in the City Centre regarding ASB associated with drinking alcohol. Increased high visibility patrols are being conducted during key times of the day to deter and reduce such incidents. Partnership work is ongoing with Wiltshire Council to embed longer term preventative measures regarding prolific offenders.

Proactive patrols are taking place in rural locations across Whiteparish and Wilton following several reports of non-dwelling burglaries in some of these areas. Predominately outbuilding have been targeted, tools and bikes have been reported stolen. Local officers are liaising with colleagues in Hampshire and sharing intelligence and information regarding these offences.

We have recently seen an increase in reported incidents of ASB in the Longhedge and Old Sarum area. These incidents have been related to use of off-road motor bikes being driven in a dangerous manner around residential areas.

The teams continue to support, where capacity allows, the positive work the Community Speed Watch teams do across the area.
