Hello Resident,

We hope you are well and here us an update for this week in Burbage.

Following a report of burglaries to unoccupied properties on Brookfield Road (new builds) at around 02:15 on the morning of the 16th, Police attended immediately with dogs and as a result, 2 suspects were arrested at the scene. 

Whilst officers were out around Burbage, a stop check was completed on a vehicle at around 03:30 on Watling Street. The vehicle was seized due to the driver not having a licence. Stop searches also completed in areas such as Brookside.

We have been completing patrols around all parks in Burbage including Tilton Road, Colt Close and Hinckley Road park. Other patrols include Hastings High area, Brookside, Three Pots and the Hansom Cab area. Vehicle checks completed and we spoke to several youths. Probably best not to run off if you see us, ultimately, we are completing these patrols to identify crime and keep people safe. Following a discussion with several youths, hopefully that message was understood. If you are not up to no good, we are here to help. 

We completed a beat surgery at the three pots post office. Even though it was cut short due to commitments, we spoke to lots of residents, supported with crime prevention such as car key wallets and handed out bicycle lights to several children who were extremely polite.
