Current priorities
Drug dealing.
Officers carried out a warrant under the Misuse of Drugs Act, leading to the arrest of a suspected drug dealer and the seizure of drugs. Several people have also been stopped and searched following reports of drug use. Officers will continue proactive patrols in areas where issues have been identified.
Set: 2026-04-15
E-scooters and e-bikes.
Officers are targeting the antisocial use of bikes and e‑scooters through patrols and vehicle stops. Where offences are identified, riders are dealt with, including for driving without insurance.
Set: 2026-04-15
Nuisance motorcycles.
Nuisance vehicle operations have been carried out to prevent antisocial driving. These patrols help deter misuse of vehicles and keep the area safe.
