Foot patrols Southern Gateway 20/09/2026

Hello all,

For those who I have not yet had the opportunity to meet, I am PC Barden, the new Neighbourhood Beat Officer for the Southern Gateway area.

Acting on information and intelligence provided by the community, officers carried out proactive patrols across Southern Gateway today, including the Hewitt Street area following reports of anti-social behaviour.

During the patrol, officers identified a male wanted for failing to appear at court for serious offences including burglary and robbery. When officers moved to arrest him, he attempted to make off but was quickly detained following a short foot chase.
