Current priorities
Drug supply and related activity in Borehamwood
Three people were arrested in relation to drug supply and they are currently on bail for further serious crime offences. A closure order has been placed on an address in Cowley Hill Ward linked to drug supply. A warrant has been executed into drug supply and more are planned.

Anti-social behaviour and crime committed by young people in Shenley Road
Multiple out of court resolutions have been issued to young people for shoplifting and possession of cannabis. We’ve been working with the local schools and businesses to identify young people causing issues and diverting them. We’ve also been assisting Trading Standards with action at shops that have been selling illegal vapes to children on Shenley Road.
