Operation Centurian Burnley Town Centre

Hi.

 

I just wanted to update you all on what we’ve been up to on Op Centurion today in and around Town.

 

We have located and arrested a male wanted on the Police National Computer for theft.  We couldn’t have been more pleased when he tried to run/fight with us in this heat.  Luckily the threat of PAVA spray changed his mind on that front. 

 

We have carried out stop searches for drugs and offensive weapons, breached a persistent beggar on the Town Public space Protection Order (PSPO), moved several other beggars on and offered some support to some vulnerable members of the public. 

 

We have also confiscated open alcohol from several street drinkers again under the PSPO powers and provided support and reassurance to the retailers in the Town.

 

Thanks to all that came and chatted to us about all manner of issues, this sort of interaction allows us to refer the problems raised to the correct department to deal. 

 

Thanks again

 

PS 282 Foster
