Welcome to our new subscribes to our police messaging service our aim is to update you on what’s been happening, good new stories, crime prevention advice and up and coming events where you can come and meet your local team and speak to them for advice or to report a concern. South Rural Task Force and officers from the National Construction & Agriculture Theft Team have been out recovering high value stolen plant machinery across the West Lancashire and South Ribble areas. So far this week we have seized three 9 tonne dumpers, a 6 tonne dumper, a compact excavator, and a tandem roller. These thefts are not only about the value of the machinery, they also impact businesses and individuals with lost time and revenue. We are still committed to tackling these thefts and recovering stolen goods. #YouSaidWeDid #NoBorders #SouthRTF #NCATT
Your local Neighbourhood Officers have recently been out and about providing bike marking and free registration on The National Cycle Data Base. We have also been happy to discuss local concerns and provide crime prevention advice.
Speed Enforcement Checks will be carried out in 20 MPH and 30 MPH areas over the few weeks to help us get the right areas please report any speed concerns via Speed Concern Submission – Lancashire Road Safety Partnership
Crime Prevention Advice A burglary can devastate the lives of victims. Not only can their physical possessions be stolen, but their feelings of safety can also be taken from them. To help avoid becoming a victim of crime:
Keep all windows closed and doors locked and always check before going to bed.
Keep curtains and blinds closed at night and make sure any valuables are out of sight.
Always remove your keys from the locks and out of sight of windows and letter boxes.
Try not to post on social media that you’re away or on holiday – don’t advertise an empty home!
If you have a keyless car, keep your keys as far away from your car as possible – preferably in a faraday bag to stop thieves using a relay device.
Always use good quality padlocks with covers on all outbuildings so they cannot be easily cut off.
Make sure side gates/sheds/garages are locked and keep boundary fences, walls, and gates are in good repair.
Install security lighting and / or CCTV cameras around your property where possible; they are a great deterrent. If you're going out for the evening, leave a light on or put one on a timer.
Always report any suspicious activity of concern in your area, this can be done easily online and helps us to target our patrols. Do you know the law when it comes to e-scooters and e-bikes?
You (the public) are consistently telling us that you're sick of nuisance, anti-social and down-right dangerous riding of e-bikes and scooters in Lancashire. It's not just 'kids having a bit of fun'. We've seen first hand the dangers of these vehicles, having dealt with serious and fatal collisions involving bikes and scooters that have devastated families and left people with life-changing injuries. it's not just us....and we're not taking the ‘fun’ away from kids. There’s nothing fun about e-scooters when riding one puts you in a situation where you receive life changing injuries. Take it from these medical staff at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. https://www.facebook.com/reel/883805047476033
How to report a dog fouling problem We investigate dog fouling complaints and take a hard line against offenders. However, as our officers have to witness the offence before a fixed penalty notice can be served, it can be difficult for our officers to catch the culprit, particularly as a dog fouling offence can occur very quickly. Therefore when you make a complaint, we will ask you to complete a questionnaire and also keep a log of when you have seen any fouling incidents. We will use this information to target offenders to improve the chances of catching those responsible. So when you need to make a complaint about dog fouling, please help us to investigate your complaint by providing as much information as you can, such as: If you can't provide this information, it will greatly reduce our chances of catching offenders. In these circumstances, your complaint will be dealt with as part of our routine patrols. https://www.westlancs.gov.uk/environment/dogs/dog-fouling.aspx# ***CRIME STOPPERS 0800 555 111 100% anonymous Always *** Give information anonymously Your anonymity is 100% guaranteed.
