Hello Resident,

We hope you are well and enjoying this first bit of sunshine of the year. Here is an update for Burbage over the last week.

Reported Crime and Appeals

Report of a moped driving dangerously around the Higham way area on the 27th and 28th of February between 15:00-16:00. Youth related incident. We are currently dealing with the keeper, and these incidents should hopefully no longer be an issue. We are also trying to identify any other youths taking part in the dangerous driving, so if you are aware of anyone involved, please pop me their names darren.stretton@leics.police.uk

Report that the side of a van door was cut on the Chequers Inn car park sometime between 17:30 and 06:00 on the 3rd into the 4th of March. Thankfully the owner had removed tools. Please be aware of theft from vehicles, particularly tools/vans. 

The force was called at 5.19pm on Thursday 27th of February to report a number of dogs loose in the area of Farm Road, Burbage. 

The initial report was that three dogs were in an area of open space off Farm Road and were attacking each other. 

A woman was also injured by one of the dogs. She sustained a minor injury to her wrist. No other injuries have been reported. The dogs were secured prior to police arrival and have been taken to kennels. One is being treated for its injuries. 

No arrests have been made, and our enquiries are continuing.

Patrols, Police Activity and local engagement

One male was stopped and detained under section 23 misuse of drugs on Tilton Road on the 26th at 15:00 following patrols by officers in the area. A stop search was also completed on Featherston Drive at around 14:15. Targeted patrols are being completed in the area to address concerns of drug use/dealing. A premises search was also completed. If you have any information that can help target our activity, feel free to drop me an email. 

Vehicle seized on the 27th on Cardinal drive for no insurance/licence.
