You said, we did- community update from your Dallington Spencer Team

Dear residents,

In July, we set three local priorities for the Northampton Dallington Spencer area. These were drug dealing and drug misuse, road safety and road traffic offences, and burglary. 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 Northampton Central Neighbourhood Policing Team to address them:

Drug dealing and drug misuse

We have executed multiple warrants across the Dallington Spencer area relating to drug supply, and investigations into these are ongoing.

We have secured multiple charges for drug possession and supply offences throughout this period, and we continue to work closely with partner agencies to secure out of court resolutions.

Road safety and traffic offences:

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

We also utilise Section 59 seizure powers across the area to tackle off road bikes as a result of information provided by residents. We continue to educate the community around the rules for two wheeled vehicles and promote safer driving.

Burglary

Over this period, there have been five business related burglaries reported, and one of these has resulted in a charge.

There have also been 13 residential burglaries reported over this period, and of these, we have been able to identify nearly all of the offenders, resulting in 12 charges.

Neighbourhood officers continue to support specialist burglary investigators by carrying out house-to-house enquiries, conducting leaflet drops and providing crime prevention advice to residents and businesses.

We continue to carry out and attend engagement events across the area, including police surgeries which allow residents to meet their local officers and raise community concerns. We also regularly hold walk and talk sessions in open spaces such as Victoria Park and local residents’ meetings in Kings Heath and St James. You can access upcoming events in your area at northants.police.uk/area

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.

Kind regards, Northampton Central Neighbourhood Policing Team
