The beat team also attended a multi-agency road safety event at Kendrew Barracks in Cottesmore where around 700 military personnel were involved and educated in the importance of ‘The Fatal 4’ and road safety. The day involved Leicestershire Police, Royal Military Police, East Midlands Ambulance Service, Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service, Turning Point, The Road Safety Partnership and Rutland County Council Community Safety Team. It was a really well received day and hopefully will help to improve the safety of our roads for weeks and months to come.

| 1 Jan 2025 | Vehicle Crime. Develop our intelligence picture around those who commit this type of crime so we that we can effectively target our resources in the right areas, at the right time, with the aim of deterring, disrupting and bringing offenders to justice. Early December saw the arrest of 2 males on the A1 suspected to be involved in Operation Barrick related offences. Operation Barrick is a Policing approach to offences related to criminals targeting HGV vehicles, either by stealing their consignments from their trailers and/or syphoning fuel from their tanks. The males were from Yorkshire and had clearly travelled a long way to try and commit crime on our area. These arrests are a great deterrent and disruption to their criminal activities displaying that we will not tolerate this in our county. The investigation into these offences continues. You said, we did. |
| 1 Jan 2025 | Rural Crime Work closely with the Rural Policing Team, proactively patrol at all times of day and night. Robustly deal with offenders. Visit victims of crime and provide target hardening advice. Make efforts to locate and reunite stolen equipment. Respond to reports of hare coursing in progress on immediate responses. In late December we received reports of hare coursing in progress on the beat, your local beat team were on scene in minutes. Unfortunately, although the offenders were still in the fields when we arrived, they managed to make good their escape at the far end of the field upon seeing our marked vehicles and out onto back roads on the other side of the farm. However, they left behind their dog which I am sure they will miss. We recovered her, fed and watered her and will ensure that she is cared for by the appropriate agency. We would have loved to have caught the offenders, hopefully next time. But this at least was good disruption and spoilt their day. It’s worth remembering that they have to be lucky every time they go out and commit this offence, we only have to get lucky once. The beat team have also been out and about after dark stopping farm vehicles and ensuring that they haven’t just been stolen. Thank you to those involved for your understanding. You said, we did. |
