Police teams stopped more than 140 vehicles and made 47 arrests during a month-long operation focused on road safety across the borough.
Operation Highways is a hyper-local, intelligence-led initiative that deploys additional resources to specific neighbourhood areas to tackle issues like speeding, untaxed and uninsured drivers.
Roads Policing officers conducted a total of 141 vehicle stops, made 47 arrests and seized 52 vehicles when they headed out on Gedling’s roads during March.
The proactive initiative also led to five seizures of drugs and two weapon seizures.
Officers also engaged with communities in areas including Burton Joyce, Calverton, Arnold, Woodthorpe and Ravenshead.
Inspector Steven King, local area commander for Gedling, said: “Road safety is raised time and again as a priority for residents, whether that be at community engagement events, in surveys or in conversations with officers.
“Issues like persistent speeding and antisocial behaviour on our roads have a detrimental impact on people’s lives and we want to do everything we can to help.
“Proactive operations like this can make a real difference by targeting resources where they are needed.
“I’m grateful to the Roads Policing officers for their efforts during March and they were in the right place at the right time to pull over a number of uninsured and untaxed drivers.
“They were also able to seize drugs and weapons and target those using our road network for criminality.”
