Current priorities
Shop thefts around the shopping park.
From feedback in the community we are aware that retail crime and ASB in particular with youths is an issue. We know that this has been heightened recently with the Halloween and Christmas period. To combat this we have set up a Winter of Action Plan which aims at increasing patrols at key times to target offenders and this has included plain clothes officers working in the area.
