Suffolk Constabulary – Heritage Crime & Anti-Social Behaviour Week of Action

Suffolk Constabulary – Heritage Crime & Anti-Social Behaviour Week of Action

This week (29 June – 5 July 2026), Suffolk Constabulary is supporting the national Anti-Social Behaviour Awareness Week, with a dedicated focus on protecting our county’s valued heritage sites.

Heritage sites across Suffolk – including churches, historic buildings, monuments and landmarks – are an important part of our shared history. Unfortunately, these locations can be vulnerable to anti-social behaviour, which can cause lasting damage and distress to local communities.

Throughout the week, officers from our Rural, Wildlife and Heritage Crime Team will be:

Conducting proactive patrols at key heritage locations affected by anti-social behaviour

Working with local communities, landowners and partner agencies to address concerns

Promoting the importance of protecting heritage sites and preventing damage

Anti-social behaviour at heritage sites is not just minor nuisance – it can lead to irreversible damage to buildings and spaces that have stood for centuries.

We are asking the public to support us by:

Reporting incidents of anti-social behaviour or suspicious activity

Respecting our historic sites

Helping to spread awareness of the importance of protecting Suffolk’s heritage

If you witness anti-social behaviour, please report it via:

Online: www.suffolk.police.uk

Non-emergency: 101

Emergency: 999

Together, we can ensure Suffolk’s heritage is protected for future generations.
