Current priorities
Anti-social behaviour is a priority for the neighbourhood policing team. Anti-Social Behaviour can have a significant impact on those within the community, therefore we will be patrolling hotspot locations which have been reported to us and we will be utilising all our powers to ensure we tackle this issue.
The beat team continue to work with the Anti-Social Behaviour Team to tackle ongoing ASB reports. We have been able to issue ASB warning letters to individuals with an aim to reduce the ASB in the local area. We work closely with local housing providers and encourage reporting incidents.
Set: 2026-07-09
The AW043 beat has seen a rise in theft of motor vehicle, particularly mopeds. We would like to remind people to secure mopeds as best they can and remain vigilant. Please report any suspicious activity via 101, 999 or online.
There has also been a rise in car key burglaries, we would like to remind members of the public to keep their houses secure and keep car keys away from the front door.
