Community update: Vehicle crime

Community update: Vehicle crime

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Vehicle crime (theft of vehicles or theft from vehicles), which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

🚨 Great work by our local PCSOs! 🚨

A great example of how community information can make a real difference. 👮‍♂️👮‍♀️

PCSOs 7150 Freeman, 7126 Harmer and 7027 Cruden acted promptly after receiving information from members of the local community about a stolen motorbike.

The team followed up on the information, carried out enquiries and successfully located the stolen motorbike. They then arranged for it to be recovered and returned to its rightful owner. 🏍️✅

This is exactly what neighbourhood policing is about — listening to our communities, acting on the information they provide and working together to get positive results.

A fantastic outcome for the owner and a great example of the important role community intelligence plays in tackling crime.

If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at www.northants.police.uk, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101. 

Alternatively, you can stay 100 per cent anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org.
