You said, we did- community update from your Duston and Sixfields Team

Dear residents,

In July we set three local priorities for the Duston and Sixfields area. These were burglary, road safety and road traffic offences, 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 Duston and Sixfields Neighbourhood Policing Team to address them:

Burglary

Over this period, there have been six reported residential burglaries and six reported business burglaries. We continue to support with burglary investigations visiting the area of every domestic burglary, carrying out proactive patrols in areas to prevent further offences, supporting vulnerable victims, and working with other agencies to provide security advice.

Road safety and road traffic offences

Over this period, there have been 15 reported thefts from motor vehicles, four reported thefts of motor vehicles, and four reported vehicle interferences.

We continue to work closely on Operation Aqua-Wave targeting car cruising and other offences in the Sixfields area. Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) signs have been installed, and a further 20 PSPO warning letters have been issues to vehicle owners.

We are working closely with local agencies and landowners around further traffic calming measures in the area. Extra patrols have been conducted on a regular basis, and two vehicles have been seized .

Drug dealing and drug misuse

Over this period, one offence for trafficking-controlled drugs had been recorded, and a further five drug possession offences have been recorded. Of these offences, we have secured one charge and one out of court disposal.

We have issued one caution for possession of Class A drugs.

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 held regularly at Duston Box and Upton. 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 Suburban Neighbourhood Policing Team
