As this week draws to a close, we wanted to provide an update on some of the incidents and jobs Bodmin Police have attended.

As always this is just a snapshot of some of the demand placed on our team. This week due to the weather saw quite a few crashes.

Monday saw units chasing a suspect around following a High-Risk domestic assault. In between this we had a vehicle on its roof on the A30.

Wadebridge saw Officers arrest a driver after crashing their car and blowing 112 at the roadside.

Tuesday saw a vehicle crashing into parked cars. The driver then tried to fight people before stupidly trying to pull off the registration plate and running off.

We also had someone trying to fight their delivery driver after their food arrived cold...

Wednesday our Early turn response was straight out the door at 7am to a 5 vehicle Crash on the A30 due to icy conditions.

Thursday was snow day! This presented its own challenge with units on the A30 from 6am trying to deal with the conditions. We even had some drivers try turning around and drive back up the A30 the wrong way….

The risk presented to motorists required the decision to close the A30 at Bodmin. Despite these closures we had drivers still trying to drive through the signs.

This resulted in three drivers being given tickets.

After some time and clearing of vehicles units managed to get ploughs and gritters through and re-open the road.

Friday again vehicles crashing due to conditions. This continued through the day with a few reported crashes.

Saturday, we had a group of adults fighting at lunchtime over reversing in a petrol station.

Which brings us to Sunday. We currently have units assisting Launceston due to a serious collision on the A30.
