Dear residents,

In July we set three local priorities for the East Northampton suburban area which includes Talavera, Billing and Rectory Farm, and Riverside Farm. These were burglary, road safety and road traffic offences, and drug dealing and drug misuse. These priorities were based on concerns raised by local residents, together with local crime data and information provided by partner agencies, such as the local council.

These priorities have been the focus of much of our work over the past three months. Below is an update on some of the activity undertaken by the East Northampton suburban Neighbourhood Policing Team to address them:

Burglary

Over this period, there have been 19 reported burglaries and 10 attempted burglaries of a home. We continue to support with burglary investigations visiting the area of every domestic burglary, carrying out proactive patrols in areas to prevent further offences, supporting vulnerable victims, and working with other agencies to provide security advice.

Road safety and road traffic offences

Over this period, there have been 64 reported thefts from motor vehicles, 17 reported thefts of motor vehicles, and 26 reported vehicle interferences.

We have continued our work with Operation Thief to tackle vehicle crime and theft from motor vehicles. We secured one charge for vehicle crime and breach of a criminal behaviour order, and the individual was remanded into custody.

We have carried out a speed enforcement operation which resulted in three speeding tickets being issued, and words of advice provided to multiple drivers

Drug dealing and drug misuse

Over this period, 12 offences were recorded for trafficking-controlled drugs, and a further 17 were recorded for drug possession. Eleven of these resulted in a positive outcome including four charges, six community resolutions, and one adult caution.

We have executed one warrant relating to drug offences, which resulted in the seizure of cannabis.

We have used stop and search powers on 18 occasions over this period.

Everyone who lives or works in Northamptonshire is invited to tell us about any local issues that concern them and the easiest way to do this is by completing our local priorities survey every few months so we can be sure we have your current views. You can complete the survey here.

For more information about local priorities and how and why we set them, please read our Priorities Q&A here.

Kind regards, Northampton Suburban Neighbourhood Policing Team
