Silhill WMnow Update

Good evening everyone,
Here is your update for the Sihill area.
 

Silhill Crime Update:
Overnight on the 4th of October a Ford Puma has been broken into and a purse and personal items stolen from inside the vehicle. In the early hours of the 5th of October a Black Mercedes was broken into on Warwick Road whereby a number of items were taken including a bank card and the owner’s driving licence. The investigation into these offences is ongoing and steps being taken to determined if they are linked.
 

Good News:
The team joined Trading Standards for a warrant which resulted in the seizure of a quantity of illegal goods from the premises with our support. A wider investigation is underway being led by Trading Standards to prosecute the offending premises.
 

The team have stayed on duty after one of our late shifts to tackle local vehicle crime with proactive patrols based upon intelligence which has been received from local residents. After the success of our last targeted vehicle crime operation and as the darker nights start to roll in we will out targeting suspect vehicles at night to make your area safer.
 

The team attended a joint meeting with the Local Authority in an effort to address the concerns raised by residents about discarded and possibly dangerous drug paraphernalia and the impact it is having on the community. We have been informed that cleaning will be undertaken on a daily basis Monday to Friday and local residents can report sightings of paraphernalia to the local authority to highlight an urgent clean up requirement.
 

The team have been supplying a dedicated double crew of officers to track down and arrest domestic violence offenders who are living in the area and are currently wanted. This is valuable opportunity for the team to safeguard some of our most vulnerable victims of crime and take offenders off the streets.
 

We look forward to getting in touch again soon with more updates.
