An update from your Neighbourhood Policing Team

Dear residents,

In April, we set three local priorities – Burglary, road safety and road traffic offences, and drug dealing and drug misuse.

These were based on what local people told us concerned them most in their neighbourhood, as well as local crime statistics and information from our partners (such as the local council).

These priorities have been the focus of much of our work and below is an update about some of the work we have been doing to tackle them over the last three months in the North East sector of Northampton. This includes the areas of Talavera, Billing & Rectory Farm, Riverside & Kingsthorpe, and Headlands & Parklands.

Burglary

There have been 21 reported burglaries and 21 attempted burglaries of residential properties across the North East sector of Northampton.

Road safety and road traffic offences

There have been 110 reported thefts from motor vehicles, 31 reported thefts of motor vehicles, and 45 reported vehicle interferences across the North East sector of Northampton.

Operation Stormecho has been launched to tackle the use of illegal e-scooters and e-bikes, as well as vehicle nuisance, road safety issues, and road traffic offences associated with this activity.

We have seized seven illegal e-scooters/e-bikes.

Operation Thief has been launched to tackle vehicle crime and theft from motor vehicles. So far, two arrests have been made, and one person has been charged with vehicle crime and remanded to custody.

Drug dealing and drug misuse

There have been 30 reported drug offences across the North East sector of Northampton, 19 of which resulted in positive outcomes. These included eight charges, nine community resolutions, and two adult cautions.

Multiple drug warrants were executed in the East Northampton and Kingsthorpe areas, including the destruction of a cannabis factory.

Officers have been conducting regular visits to individuals considered vulnerable and at risk of cuckooing. As a result, six Community Protection Warning Notices (CPWNs) were issued to safeguard vulnerable individuals.

Officers have used stop and search powers on 62 occasions across the North East sector of Northampton.

Everyone who lives or works in Northamptonshire is invited to tell us about any local issues that concern them and the easiest way to do this is by completing our Local Priorities survey
