Forsbrook & Caverswall — Neighbourhood Policing Team

Vehicle crime and suspicious activity, mainly taking place overnight with insecure vehicles and homes being targeted.

We have worked alongside our forensics and criminal investigation department (CID) colleagues, which has resulted in a number of key arrests and charges being brought against several suspects. We have seen an overall reduction in vehicle crime and reports of suspicious activity. Officers continue to patrol hotspot areas during the evening and into the night.
