Neighbourhood Policing Team Weekly Update

On Wednesday, a number of officers from NPT assisted with Princess Annes visit to the Royal Motor Yacht Club.

On Friday, officers were conducting high visibility patrols in the town centre when PCSO Matt sighted a known prolific shoplifter. Some quick checks revealed he was wanted for an assault and shoplifting, he was detained and our response colleagues arrived with the chevron chariot to take him to custody.

Also on Friday, PCSOs Mike and Matt along with PCs Tristan and Jamie conducted a spontaneous shoplifting operation at a store on Ashley Road. This involved utilising plain clothed officers on the shop floor and monitoring CCTV to capture offences in the act. Unfortunately for us but fortunately for the store there was no shoplifting during the duration we were present.

Today, PCSOs Jason, Mike and Christine hosted a community meeting for the residents of Oakdale at the library. Thank you to everyone who attended to raise their concerns and provide information that would be difficult to give over the telephone or online form.

Poole NPT and other NPTs/departments have been continuing to provide support throughout the week to help keep Bournemouth and it's visitors safe. This has been resource intense and the team have worked tirelessly to support Bournemouth and keep a watchful eye on Poole, focussing on our priorities.
