Werneth (Oldham) — Neighbourhood Policing Team

Anti-social behaviour and overt drug use primarily in car parking and industrial areas. The peak time for offences is during the late evenings.

Officers have worked closely with the council and have installed section 59 warning signs in many local authorities and privately owned open space car parks. These signs will act as a deterrent to people using their own vehicles in these car parks outside of working hours as any anti-social use can result in seizure of the vehicle. Officers are also conducting high visibility patrolling, particularly during the late evenings. Local officers will also be gathering intelligence and will be utilising their stop and search powers to detect offences. Anyone found in possession of controlled drugs and/or weapons will be arrested and anyone found to be committing anti social vehicular offences will have their vehicle seized.
