Off-road bikes and drug dealing

Although this has been greatly reduced due to proactive policing patrols involving uniform and plain clothes officers it is still a priority as it has the potential to return to previous levels if not managed and acted upon. A number of persons seen riding illegal suron bikes have been reported for driving offences and in some instances the bikes have been seized.

Violent Crime

This remains a priority as although it has reduced over the last 6 months there are still occasional reports of violent crime that can be linked back to the drug supply issues in the area.
