Current priorities
We work with the community and local partners, while also looking at our own data, to come up with priorities for South Yarmouth for the next three months. These are currently Tackling anti-social behaviour - focusing on alcohol/drug concerns and vehicle misuse.
We’ve increased targeted patrols in hotspot areas highlighted by the community. We’ve also worked with drug dogs to carry out targeted stop searches and safeguarding checks. The searches have led to drug seizures, one arrest for possession with intent to supply, local intelligence gathering, and increased public reassurance. A joint operation with trading standards was done on the 22nd April to address illicit cigarette and tobacco products being sold on Kings Street, with 59,000 illegal cigarettes being seized. Patrols of stairwells have been done in the area following reports of drug use and, with help from caretakers, four youths were identified and sanctioned by housing. Officers have liaised with GYBC Assets team to collate a schedule of stairwell door upgrades and prioritise problem areas, which in addition to installation of CCTV and ASB floor signage, will help to increase security and awareness of our actions. Undertaken daily patrols in town centre with council staff. Two men issued with 'Acceptable Behaviour Contracts'. One man imprisoned for breaching his 'Antisocial Behaviour Injunction' in the town centre. One man arrested for breaching his 'Criminal Behaviour Notice'. Two E-scooters seized from the town centre. One man arrested for breaching his 'Criminal Behaviour Order' and sent to prison. Four positive stop searches conducted in town centre. 14 shoplifters dealt with and banned from stores in the town centre. 16 Public Spaces Protection Order breaches and individuals reported for drinking from open cans of alcohol in the town centre. Joint networking with partners to reduce illegal parking in King Street.
