I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Organised crime (including organised drugs distribution, firearms, county lines, modern slavery and human trafficking), which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

Increased police activity in Wellingborough today

Residents in parts of Wellingborough may notice an increased police presence in their area today (October 21) as officers carry out a pre-planned operation.

The activity forms part of Northamptonshire Police's ongoing work to tackle crime, protect communities and take action against those suspected of causing harm within our towns and neighbourhoods.

As part of the operation, officers will be conducting activity at a number of addresses across the town. You may see police vehicles, specialist resources and officers carrying out enquiries throughout the day.

We understand this activity may attract attention, and reassurance is being provided to local communities. While we cannot comment on specific operational details at this stage, we want to reassure residents that this is part of proactive policing activity aimed at keeping people safe.

Anyone with information about crime or concerns in their area is encouraged to report it to us by calling 101 or by using the online reporting tools available via our website at http://www.northants.police.uk .

In an emergency, or if a crime is in progress, always call 999.

Thank you for your patience and support while officers carry out this important work.

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.
