The team have issued a number of Community Protection Warnings based upon information we have received about anti-social behaviour in the area. The suspects have been located and dealt with them now firmly on our radar going forward.

A suspected drug dealer in the area has been stopped and searched following a short chase. Class B drugs have been located and seized, and the male is now going through the process to deal with the possession.

The team jumped in to assist with a high-risk missing person who was a vulnerable child who was able to be safely located and returned to loved ones thanks to the help from our officers.

I hope that you all have a lovely weekend
