Neighbourhood Policing Team Weekly Update

Hello everyone

Here's a quick look at some of the work we've been doing to keep our community safe and connected 

Last week EAST BOURNEMOUTH & CHRISTCHURCH NPT officers dealt with a report of open fires at KINGS PARK RECREATION GROUND. Officers attended, finding a group of people with a lit barbeque. Officers instructed the group to extinguish the barbeque and they did so. The group were given strong words of advice and a warning that lighting of fires in this area is not only a breach of UK government guidance, but also a breach of the Open Spaces Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) in place in the area.

NPT officers also disrupted a car in the CHRISTCHURCH area. After seeing the vehicle being driven in a suspicious manner, officers located the car parked up and left unlocked. Officers searched the vehicle, locating and seizing a quantity of illegal drugs. The vehicle was seized and enquiries are ongoing to identify the driver / owner.

NPT officers also assisted other DORSET POLICE officers who had raised concerns for the welfare of a homeless female. NPT officers located the female, checked on her welfare and updated the other officers accordingly.

We hope you have a safe and enjoyable week.
