Neighbourhood update

Hello 

I am writing to provide an update from the Broxtowe Borough Neighbourhood Policing Team and to share progress against our current policing priorities for the period April to June.

1.Alcohol and Youth-Related Anti-Social Behaviour, Beeston Town Centre

Prolific Offender Jailed
A prolific offender, Kelly Freestone, has been arrested by the Neighbourhood Policing Team and sentenced to six months’ imprisonment for continued shop theft offences committed in Beeston. The individual was also found to be in breach of a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO). This result demonstrates our continued commitment to tackling repeat offenders who cause harm to local businesses and the community.

Suspect Charged Following Charity Box Thefts

A suspect has been charged and is due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Friday 1 May after charity donation boxes were stolen from a mosque on Victory Road and a supermarket in Beeston. Officers were alerted to the incidents in March, and the suspect was subsequently arrested, charged with theft, and released on bail to appear in court.

Partnership Work – Villa Street, Beeston

We are actively working with housing partners to address reports of anti-social behaviour in the Villa Street area. Individuals responsible have been visited and warned that further incidents may result in enforcement action from the appropriate agency.  CCTV is being utilised to deter crime and ASB, and reassurance has been provided to residents around reporting concerns to both the police and housing teams. This partnership approach is key to achieving longer-term improvements.

2. Drug Dealing and Anti-Social Behaviour, Eastwood South

Police Operations
A drug warrant was executed at an address in Newthorpe. Although no controlled drugs were located on this occasion, officers took time to speak with local residents to provide reassurance and offer advice around reporting drug-related concerns and anti-social behaviour. We remain committed to acting on intelligence provided by the community.

Joint Partnership Operation
Your local NPT has supported Immigration Enforcement, the National Crime Agency, and East Midlands Special Operations in a joint operation across Nottinghamshire.  During checks at a car wash in Nuthall, an illegal worker was detained, and a civil penalty notice was issued to the employer. Illegal working is often linked to organised crime and the exploitation of vulnerable people, and these joint operations are essential to disrupting such criminal activity and sending a clear message that enforcement action will be taken.

Thank you
