🚓Neighbourhood Policing Update | Moston Lane Area

On 1 September 2026, PC Jones spent time in the Moston Lane area speaking with local residents and security staff about concerns affecting the community.

We are aware of reports relating to domestic burglaries and lock-snap burglaries, where offenders are targeting homes to steal vehicle keys and gain access to vehicles. The area has been identified as a location of concern, and Greater Manchester Police has been carrying out targeted work there for several months.

During today's engagement, officers spoke with a number of residents about the importance of reporting crimes and suspicious behaviour as soon as they happen. Every report helps us build intelligence, identify patterns of offending, and direct PCSOs and officers to the areas that need us most. Increased reporting also allows us to deploy proactive patrols and target offenders more effectively.

📄 Officers also distributed "BURGLARY ALERT: BURGLARS ARE OPERATING IN YOUR AREA" leaflets, providing advice on:

✅ How to report a crime
✅ What information police need to investigate offences
✅ Home security measures to help protect your property
✅ How to identify vulnerabilities that offenders may target

Providing as much information as possible when reporting incidents gives police a better opportunity to investigate and progress offences.

Many residents told us they were pleased to see officers out on foot and taking the time to discuss local concerns. We remain committed to listening to our communities and working together to make the area safer.
