Anti-social behaviour, South Molton

The local policing team have received reports of anti-social behaviour taking place in the area of the Pannier Market, South Molton. 

We have received numerous reports concerning the scaffolding that has been erected around the Pannier Market in order to restore the roof. This is some important work and it is anticipated that this scaffolding will be up for some time however we have received some concerning reports of individuals climbing on the scaffolding and up onto the roof. 

 We are fortunate that there is CCTV in the locality and we will be reviewing this footage to try and identify any individuals and we will take proportionate action against anyone we can identify.  

 This is incredibly dangerous, there is a reason the roof is being restored and therefore I would urge any parents to have a conversation with their children to remind them of the dangers and the risks posed and the implications of falling from height. 

As a team we will be working with the Town Council and the company responsible for the Scaffolding to increase awareness of the risks posed so that works can continue safely and without delay. 

The Neighbourhood Team encourage any persons who experience anti-social behaviour, and anyone with information, to report this via our website or phone 101 in a non-emergency.

Please phone 999 in an emergency. 

We aim to increase patrols where possible.
