Foleshill news

Dear residents and local businesses,

Here is a roundup of what the Foleshill Neighbourhood team officers have been doing this week. 

 OUR Priorities

Our priorities are now business crime, this is an issue all over the north east and officers are proactively patrolling the affected areas. We have officers in plain clothes as well as in hi visibility uniform.

This week officers have made further arrests in the north east one of these was a prolific shop theft offender who was wanted for various offences. After the hard work of officers and help from shop staff the male was charged and remanded to attend court, another great outcome for local businesses. These offenders will be put before the court for sentencing in the near future. 

Officers were also continuing their hi visibility patrols at the Gallagher retail park. This week officers visited the location with crime prevention items. Officers were armed with purse bells, window alarms, segment timers amongst other things. These items were given out free along with crime prevention advice. The afternoon was very busy with shoppers officers received positive feedback from lots of interactions. 

Officers are continuing with patrols in Edgwick park due to anti social behaviour. We have officers out in uniform and also plain clothes officers patrolling and conducting stop seach checks when they have the power to do so. Officers were speaking with local residents who said it was great to see officers out in the park and green spaces and said it was reassuring to see a high police presence

Shop theft is still a big issue on the retail park this week officers have completed a plain clothes operation targeting prolific offenders, this week a prolific shop lifter was arrested and charged with 4 separate incidents, enquiries will be ongoing 

IN OTHER NEWS 

New barriers have been placed at the entrance to the car park for the Range on Austin this was in relation to previous ASB with vehicles being in the car park after shops closing playing loud music and erratic driving, officers have worked hard in the area putting a stop to this anti social behaviour and the barriers are the latest deterrent to keep unwanted vehicles out after hours.

This week officers have completed community speed watch in various locations. This is after feedback from residents concerned about speeding drivers in the local area. PCSO have also been out with residents completing street watch walks. We are always on the lookout for speed watch and street watch volunteers so if this is something that interests you please do get in touch
