Melton Rural South Monthly Beat Update – April 2025

Dear Resident
Welcome to April’s Priority Update for the Melton Rural South Beat. Our beat priorities are decided from feedback from the community in the form of surveys through Neighbourhood Link and our crime incident reporting systems.
Thank you to all those who have completed the surveys.
Our 3 main beat priorities continue to be:
Road Safety
Drug Taking
Rural and Farming Equipment Thefts

PC Tranter and I feel it is important that we keep you as residents informed regarding the level and type of crime on the Melton Rural South beat and how it is being addressed which is why we post these monthly updates.

In April we saw an increase in Road Traffic Collisions (RTCs) on the beat’s roads to 4, fortunately no one involved was seriously injured. As always, our advice is please drive to the speed limit and the weather conditions.

Road traffic enforcement on the beat’s roads continues to be addressed with high visibility speed monitoring together with using both marked and unmarked police vehicles to stop vehicles. 

We have continued to see a high number of criminal damage incidents with 7 reported in April. The number of reported thefts has also increased from last month to 5, however the number of burglaries has decreased sharply this month to only 1. In addition, there has also been a marked decrease in the number of incidents of vehicle crimes to 3.

There have been 2 incidents of drugs possession on the beat and those involved are being dealt with accordingly.

PC Tranter and I will continue to spend as much time on the beat as possible, assisted by the Rural Crime Team, working longer shifts in an attempt to deter criminals onto our area.

As always PC Tranter and I are grateful for all your help, co-operation, and support. Thank you.
