What’s been happening? Good news
We are already aware of a major issue with the anti-social use of off-road motorbikes throughout the area. In the last week we and neighbouring teams have found an increase in these motorbikes, which are either outstanding stolen vehicle, abandoned and some even burnt out. We located three motorbikes that have all been identified as stolen, one of which in a robbery with a knife described as being ‘arm-length’. This was also located next to these bikes. We have seized this to take this weapon off the streets and have sent it to be forensically analysed to identify a suspect.
We have continued with making further arrests including a male for Controlling and Coercive behaviour and Non-fatal Strangulation, the last of which was committed while he was on bail not to contact the victim.
We arrested another male for making threats with an offensive weapon after he picked up a plank of wood and the victim feared they were going to be hit. This will be going to CPS for advice around a charge.
In the week we were joined by a Special Constable who volunteers to work certain shifts with our team. She made her first ever arrest which was for Rape. Two further domestic offenders were arrested in the last few days. One male handed himself in for Harassment. The other was arrested after we responded to a domestic in progress. He was brought in for: Common Assault, Assault with Injury, Violence to Secure Entry, and Possession of Class B- Cannabis.
