Interference to motor vehicles

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Nuisance Vehicle Use, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

I would like to bring to your attention that Police have received a couple of reports of an individual who has been trying vehicle doors to gain access fortunately they have not gained access. We currently do not have a full description of the offender due to poor quality CCTV images , the individual is dressed in black clothing unknown if male or female.
Please could all residents be alert and report any sightings or issues to Police as soon as they occur, may thanks,

Tackling antisocial behaviour can be a complex issue, and one which requires input and action from more than just the police.

February 2025 saw the publication of the Ministry of Justice Crime and Policing Bill: Antisocial behaviour (ASB) factsheet. This outlined a number of new measures including making powers to seize vehicles under section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002 easier to use, allowing the police to react robustly and immediately to the anti-social use of motor vehicles.

If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.herts.police.uk, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101. 

Alternatively, you can stay 100 per cent anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org.
