Hello all, I just wanted to remind residents of my upcoming engagement event today at The Bell Meadow Pavilion, Bridges Close, St Nicholas-at-Wade, between 10:00 and 12:00 hours. This has been organised alongside our Rural Task Force, and residents will be able to have their tools/property protectively marked with an etching device. This can stamp protective markings into leather, metal or plastic, as long as the item in question has a flat surface with an area of around 3 x 2 inches. This can be a useful deterrent against theft, particularly for those living in rural communities, though of course all are welcome. I hope to see you there! Since my last update on 01/11/26, here are a few items of interest that I have been involved in: I am aware of reports of anti-social behaviour in Minster, and whilst conducting some enquiries and reassurance patrolling in the area I was able to intervene in a further incident in progress, a case of ‘right place right time’! Four juveniles were detained for a stop and search and their parents have been notified. I carried out some evidence capture in the area and will continue to work closely with colleagues from the Victim Based Crime Team to support them with their enquiries. Together with colleagues from the Neighbourhood Policing Team, I have participated in a traffic operation. This operation visited sites in my ward which have been suggested by residents as regularly seeing poor standards of driving. Static speed checks were set up, and officers were able to speak to multiple drivers and issue advice or traffic tickets where appropriate. Several tickets for speeding were given out, as well as a s.59 warning for antisocial driving, and roadside breath tests and drug tests conducted. I have arrested a male whilst on foot patrol who was wanted for shoplifting and recall to prison. He was apprehended leaving an address and successfully taken to custody where he was remanded.Whilst on mobile patrol, I have also located and arrested a domestic suspect who was wanted by our investigation teams.I have been working with colleagues to tackle drug offences in high harm areas. This has yielded a further 7 stop searches, with drugs recovered and safeguarding referrals submitted.Warm regards, |
