ASB remains one of the beat priorities.

We have seen an increase in Anti-Social Behaviour incidences particularly involving youths in Groby and Ratby this last month. Anti-Social Behaviour is dealt with very seriously within the Beat and investigations are ongoing to identify those involved and they will be dealt with in partnership with the Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council AntiSocial Behaviour Team.

Road safety – numerous reports of overweight vehicles and speeding motorists within the villages. This is being addressed best we can as a small team. The issue remains one for many areas and we understand the concerns. We continue to complete speed enforcement days with the assistance of volunteers and our road safety team. The reality is that longer term solutions are key with permanent speed calming measures to be implemented. Highways should be contacted also with any concerns. We will continue to disrupt and enforce wherever we can.

Officers from Market Bosworth Beat Team alongside the Rural Crime Team completed speed checks in Barlestone and Nailstone this month following reports from concerned residents due to speeding throughout the village. We are pleased to report that there was a small number of people driving over the speed limit, they were all spoken to and given words of advice. An interesting fact to come out this operation was that we found the majority of speeder to be local residents.

Rural crime including burglary will always be a priority for the area of NH29 beat. We continue to work closely with our partners and ensure that local contacts throughout the villages are kept up to date. With proactive patrols and having specialist trained wildlife officers, we are able to focus on the issues those crimes that are more specific to our rural beat locations. Due to the large geographical rural area that the beat consists of, it is important that we offer crime prevention advice and keep our villages updated with current threat and crime trend patterns.

Officers from the Rural Crime Team alongside Market Bosworth Beat Team recovered 4 Stolen Ifor Williams Group Trailers after they were stolen the night before. Some old fashioned Police work and excellent team work led to an estimate of £12,000 worth of property being recovered .
