Gedling neighbourhood policing team’s new Inspector Heather Harding has provided an update on how they have progressed on tackling crime across the borough in January.
She said: “The reported incidents of ASB in the Gedling borough remain relatively low. The NPT team are hoping to arrange some community events in the near future which will be aimed towards the younger residents and will hopefully assist in steering them away from ASB as they build relationships with the Police.”
Harding provided an update about the car meets in the borough.
She said: “After a large car meet in the New Year the local NPT and Gedling Borough Council have worked together to identify some of the vehicles and are now moving forward in contacting the registered owners.
“The regular patrols and enforcement continues and I would ask residents to continue to report incidents as they occur.”
On begging she said her patrols had been doing lots of patrols in town centres to identify those who are begging in the area. She said: “They are being offered help and support as well as being warned of their behaviour and the consequences.
The inspector also offered a warning around a spike in burglaries across the area.
The Inspector said: “In the last few weeks there has been a slight increase in burglaries – please could you ensure that you remain vigilant in your neighbourhood and report any suspicious activity to the Police to allow officers to attend and address any concerns.”
