Here is your WMnow update for what has been going on in the Silhill area since our last message and what the team has been up to.

There was an interference with a vehicle on Ferndown Road which happened at 0042hrs on 02/11/2026 whereby one offender was seen approaching a vehicle parked on the driveway and used an item described as a wire or device to attempt to enter the back door of the vehicle. The offender was also seen looking into the house. A security light came on and caused the offender to run off.

Good News:

The team were able to finally shut down a problem property on the patch this week. After months of working with the council a flat which was being frequented by drug users, drug dealers, anti-social youths and more has been boarded up and had the locks changed awaiting refurbishment and a new, hopefully law-abiding tenant moving in. The former occupant caused numerus issues for local residents and ourselves and multiple calls to service.

The team have been out and about on dedicated tasking around the anti-social behaviour and the use of fireworks in public spaces during the Halloween period. We have been responding to the calls as they have landed and been proactive in tackling the issues based upon the information kindly provided by the community.

The team have been staying on after late shifts again to keep on top of the area’s vehicle crime, a number of suspect vehicles were pulled over and, checked and search. With one car found full of used drug paraphernalia and action taken against the driver. A suspect male was stopped in the early hours and checked after being believed to be have been involved in break ins in the area.

I hope that you all have a lovely week.

🙂
