October Hangleton & Knoll Ward Update |

PCSO MONTHLY WARD UPDATE Welcome to your monthly Hangleton & Knoll Ward update by Beat PCSO Sharon Baker & PCSO Joe Crutchley, for the month of October 2026
Ward Priorities Electric Bikes & Scooters, badly parked vehicles, Graffiti
Ward Update The priorities for our area remain the same as it has been for a little while, so I am re-posting this information. Modified bikes or bikes requiring no pedalling and causing anti-social behaviour continue to be a problem in the area and are a concern for local residents, due to the speed and anti-social element of these. Legal powers have been given to Police Community Support Officers to stop and seize these. Vehicles blocking the pavement are a concern to residents who are unable to pass by safely, this may become even more of a problem when further parking restrictions are put in place in nearby streets in the near future, and there is a squeeze on free parking. We have not received any further reports of graffiti, but this remains in the spotlight due to the nature of the graffiti that was previously reported and locations.
Police have received less calls about anti-social behaviour for the month of October, with reporting of e-scooters becoming less frequent. Officers on central wards have targeted illegal e-scooters, e-bikes etc and a large number were seized due to the riders not having a drivers licence or insurance, so I believe there is a knock on effect to other Wards. We had 4 reported burglaries with 2 of those being businesses, so can I remind everyone to report any suspicious activity. The remainder of the crime figures are pretty much in line with October last year.
Incidents of note / Any other Business Other incidents reported in our area include: Youths shoplifting from 2 of our local garages, youths wearing balaclavas. Male on an e-scooter stole a rucksack with belongings inside, a homeless male starting fires, a car blocking a drive way , a lost child, neighbour anti-social behaviour, tyre slashed.
Crime Prevention Advice The clocks have now gone back and it is time to think about protecting our homes on the dark mornings and evenings. Lots of advice can be found on the Sussex Police Website. www.sussex.police.uk
Please remember to report anything suspicious, if you don’t tell us, we won’t know about it. There are various ways to report: non emergency 101, or on the Sussex Police website (as above) and emergency 999.
