Weekly round-up from your local Neighbourhood Team

Hello Resident

✅ Good News from Your Local Policing Team ✅

The team have been heavily enforcing the PSPO (Public Space Protection Order) on the town centre, including the bus interchange, KFC and McDonald's to deter ASB and prevent crime. Fordbridge officers have also been in Lily's Tea Parlour this set for our monthly Cuppa with a Coppa - we saw loads of you come to us and ask for advice, or just for a chat, which is what we love to see! The team have also placed numerous offenders under arrest for various offences, including breaching the PSPO. We have also executed a warrant this set, which also led to numerous arrests and a number of contraband seized.

✅ Crime Prevention Tips:

To help us combat theft from/of motor vehicle, please make sure your vehicle is locked, secure, and nothing of value is visible from the outside to deter opportunistic offenders from damaging your vehicle in order to get to anything you may have left in view. Prevention is key; steering locks are inexpensive and easily found in local motoring shops, or through a reliable online retailer. You should also place any keyless entry vehicle keys in a faraday pouch in order to prevent relay theft - these are also inexpensive and easily found through online retailers, or at any of our drop-in sessions where we regularly give them out.
