Weekly update from the South Yardley Neighbourhood policing team.
Dear Members,
Here’s a quick round up from the South Yardley neighbourhood policing team.
What’s been happening
Operations: Over the coming weeks there are operations taking place in the area, so you will see more officers patrolling and interacting with the public and preventing any criminal matters. We are aiming to target those that are causing Anti-Social behaviour, Vehicle Crime, Robbery/ Violence offences and Shop thefts. We have also requested for other partner agencies to conduct some patrols in the area focusing on some roads that have raised consistent concerns. Some of the results so far we have recovered a bladed article, drugs and vehicles have been seized for driving in accordance with the licence, stolen and no tax. We have also asked DVLA to conduct some patrols and they have found 47 vehicles being un-taxed. These vehicles will be issued with a penalty charge in the post by DVLA. You will also see parking enforcement in the coming months around the area.
Brew with the Crew: This took place at the South Yardley Library and residents were provided with panic alarms, window alarms, literature for crime prevention. There was a good turn out of residents but it would be great to get more involved. The next Brew with the Crew dates and location is to be confirmed.
