Hello all, March is proving to be a busy month in and around my wards, and in addition to my previous post I have the following updates to share with you: Many thanks to the member of the public who assisted me and my colleagues whilst we were on patrol in Minster. I was notified of an ongoing domestic incident and thanks to help from a passer-by I was able to locate and arrest a male on suspicion of a variety of offences. This male was remanded to court and the victim safeguarded. I have been liaising with PCSO colleagues to organise future Speedwatch and traffic enforcement across Cliffsend, Pegwell and Thanet Villages. I am particularly interested in residents’ views on where this might best be utilised, please do get in touch and let me know!I have arrested two males on suspicion of shoplifting on consecutive days whilst on the beat in the Isle, both of whom were found with the suspected stolen goods still on their person (see below image). These offences remain under investigation.My colleagues and I have responded to two high risk missing persons reported in my wards, with both thankfully found safe and well.Patrols have continued to be undertaken in hotspot areas raised by your councillors for ASB, and I’ve been engaging with residents around a variety of issues from nuisance parking to incidents of damage.I attended an address of interest with colleagues and identified several stolen motorbikes within the property that had been stolen from Cliffsend and other locations in Thanet. A male was taken into custody on suspicion of theft offences and enquiries remain ongoing. I am aware of a reported increase of nuisance motorbikes particularly within Cliffsend, and will continue to take action to combat criminal use of these vehicles. Warm regards,
