Good News Message: May Round‑Up from Your Local PCSOs

Dear Resident,

May has been another busy month for the team, with a real focus on tackling repeat offenders, engaging with young people, and being visible in the community. Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to:

Shoplifting Offender Sentenced

A prolific shoplifter operating in the area was tracked down by PCSOs in a foot chase and has now received a 52-week prison sentence. This is a really positive result for our local businesses, who have been impacted by repeated offending. Removing persistent offenders helps reduce crime and provides reassurance to shop owners and staff.

Knife Crime Awareness in Schools

We delivered a knife crime awareness session at a local school, speaking with young people about:

These conversations are incredibly important in helping young people understand the reality behind knife crime and how to stay safe.

Beat Bus on Newnham Road

We took the Beat Bus to Newnham Road, giving residents the chance to:

Thank you to everyone who came along for a chat. It’s always great to hear directly from the community and understand what matters most to you.

Vehicle Seizure & Patrols

We removed an abandoned vehicle from Yelvertoft Road as part of our ongoing work to keep the roads safe and lawful.

Alongside this, we carried out high-visibility patrols and continued engaging with residents.

Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour – Brampton Valley

We’ve also been addressing reports of anti-social behaviour involving e-bikes and scooters in the Brampton Valley area.

Our work has included:

We’ll continue to monitor this and respond to any further concerns as part of Operation StormEcho.

Staying Connected

As always, we’ll continue to be out on patrol, working with schools, supporting local businesses, and listening to your concerns.

If you see us out and about, please come over and say hello, we’re always happy to chat.

Take care,

PCSO Adam Martin
