You said, we did- community update from your Corby team

Dear residents,

In July, we set three local priorities for the Corby area and surrounding villages. These were road safety and road traffic offences, anti-social motorcycle nuisance, and drug dealing and drug misuse. These priorities were based on concerns raised by local residents, together with local crime data and information provided by partner agencies, such as the local council.

These priorities have been the focus of much of our work over the past three months. Below is an update on some of the activity undertaken by the Corby Neighbourhood Policing Team to address them:

Road safety and road traffic offences

We continue to carry out proactive patrols and enforcement activity across the Corby area to target road traffic and road safety offences including driving with no insurance, driving without a seatbelt, and drink and drug driving offences.

Over this period, 39 people have been reported for summons relating to road traffic offences, 34 people have been charged with drink or drug driving impairment offences, and a further 20 disqualified drivers have been charged.

We continue to work closely with partners to carry out parking patrols outside local schools.

Anti-social motorcycle nuisance

We have continued our work with Operation Tides issuing a total of 67 vehicle tickets and seizing 80 e-scooters or e-bikes. We have also seized multiple motorcycles as part of this work.

Additionally, we have issued multiple postal requisition charges for road traffic offences.

Drug dealing and drug misuse

Officers have used stop and search powers on 20 occasions across the area, and we have also made 22 arrests for drug offences following community information.

We have secured 10 out of court resolutions relating to drug possession, and a further seven people have been charged or reported for summons. Multiple cases remain open for further investigation.

We have carried out regular checks at the addresses of those identified as being vulnerable to being exploited by drug dealers (cuckooing).

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 every few months so we can be sure we have your current views. You can complete the survey here.

For more information about local priorities and how and why we set them, please read our Priorities Q&A here.

Kind regards, Corby Neighbourhood Policing Team
