Priorities

26 Apr 2024

ASB General - results from my views survey conducted by the local team, via Neighbourhood Link, a number of ASB reports indicate that this is a priority concern on the area.

Response (24 May 2024)

The Closure Order on Cedar Road has been successfully extended to the end of July. The team continues to liaise with the landlord, legal services, and the Community Safety Team and it is highly unlikely that the previous tenant will be able to legally return. This has taken a concerted effort but perseverance is paying off. A person was arrested from the street by PC Woolley for immigration offences recently has been passed over to them. PCSO Sonigra held a beat surgery on St Stephen’s Rd on 16/04/24 and we are building up intelligence in the area. PCSO Akhtar has patrolled the Dixon Drive area which has put off youths congregating causing nuisance.
Our main reported ASB issue at the moment involves street drinking, noise and loitering linked to homelessness on St James Terrace in particular. We know the group are linked to issues on Spinney Hill Park. So far, nine perpetrators have been identified with four being issued with ASB Warning Letters, one prepared and to be issued, and four Verbal Warnings. We are working with the Spinney Hill beat team and have also been in touch with Immigration partners.
We have noticed with warmer weather more families along the Devana Rd blocking pavements with chairs as they gather and socialise. A polite request not to block them (part of the highway) as it my cause pedestrians to unnecessarily walk in the road.

PS Brown will be meeting the Licensing Department at the beginning of June. This part our long-term commitment to work with partners along the Evington Rd corridor. He was pleased to see so many residents and local traders at the Ward Meeting on 30/04/24 to discuss the location. The team continue to patrol. In the summer, dedicated patrols will be taking place especially at weekends into the early hours. PCSO Trantom is setting up speeding operations from feedback at the meeting.

Remember you can report ASB to Leicester City Council [email protected]
Or via Police calling 101 or via our website www.leics.police.uk

26 Apr 2024

Drug Taking - results from "my views" survey conducted by the local team, via Neighbourhood Link, indicate that this is a priority concern on the area

Response (24 May 2024)

We anticipate that seasonally there will be an increase in presence on the streets as we approach the summer and drug use and dealing may be more overt. Patrols will be taking place in anticipation of this, and intelligence is being developed. We have this month had a positive stop & search of a male seeing buying class A drugs and drugs were found on him near Mayfield roundabout. Also, the Neighbourhood Priority Team (NPT) and a keen Response officer executed a search warrant on Halsbury Street. Class A drugs and cash were seized, and a male was arrested and released under investigation. The team have dealt with cannabis smoking complaints from peoples’ homes. An Acceptable Behaviour Contract (ABC) was issued in conjunction with the Council’s Community Safety team. PCSO Akhtar has been patrolling Tennyson street and conducting visits to reduce drug users’ activity. A reminder that there is no such thing as ‘personal use’ of controlled drugs. As ever, please do report any drug activity via Crimestoppers to help us build up the intelligence picture. Thank you!

26 Apr 2024

Weapons possession and serious violence - From our patrols following the murder investigation in September on Conduit Street, we are aware there is concern about weapons possession and serious violence between the train station on London Road and Sparkenhoe Street. We clearly had a very serious incident with the double shooting on 22/11/23 and then the stabbing on Sawley Street in mid-March. This has led to lots of local patrols.

Response (24 May 2024)

Our update last month described the pod camera on Evington Road is in operation and we work in with the City Council CCTV monitoring team. A good example of this was the fight with weapons, including a broken chair, on Evington Rd opposite the Co-op on 15/05/24. Footage was circulated on social media about this fight. Reacting promptly, so far six arrests have been made and the suspects are on police bail. The team is retaining the investigation and further CCTV work is underway. If you have any information to assist our enquiries, please get in touch. We are committed to reducing serious violence on our beat. In view of this, we are working with a local venue to assist in setting up a youth club. It is early days but hopefully a community-led initiative like this will become a valued addition to our community.

1 Jul 2024

Particular areas of concern include Abingdon Road (large numbers of young people gathering until 3am), St James' Rd and Terrace (street drinking), Cedar Road (signs of drug use).

Response (27 Jul 2024)

We still remain focused on the Abingdon Road area. The team have conducted a street consultation and we are gathering evidence from local residents. The ASB investigation now has several perpetrators listed that we have delivered ASB advice and warnings too. In the background, we have investigations underway which will further disrupt the group. PCSO Trantom has also met with the Community Safety Team to discuss further options. They can be contacted directly by emailing [email protected] or contact local police via 101.
This month, PS Brown has also met with the Somali Development Services and it has been agreed that they will allow us to host beat surgeries at the venue (junction of Abingdon Road and Evington Road) from September. This will help us connect with a wider part of our community.

1 Jul 2024

Drug dealing (Abingdon Rd), associated noise and accessing communal blocks (St Albans), littering of drugs packaging in open areas (Abingdon and Cedar), and cuckooing of vulnerable people

Response (27 Jul 2024)

From speaking with our Neighbourhood Priority Team (NPT), they have been had some positive results back. A male arrested in April on Evington Road has received a six-month suspended sentence and a £40,000 proceeds of crime order. Deportation is being sought also.
On a separate matter, three males from the beat actively linked to drugs intelligence were arrested from a stolen vehicle and from localised premises searched money was seized.
In June, the NPT took a joint approach with Action Homeless to execute a search warrant on Severn Street linked to a county line. Despite the targets not been at the address, a vulnerable victim of cuckooing was located and re-located to a more suitable arranged address. Locks were changed and a separate female was arrested for being wanted on warrant.
We are aware of littering and signs of drug use (packaging) on Cedar Park and patrols will look to remove adults (ie over 14s) from the park. LCC are aware of the issue and the City Warden has been linked in with.

1 Jul 2024

Concern on the Evington Road corridor in particular and links of serious violence with young people

Response (27 Jul 2024)

This month, Sergeant Brown has been working closely with the MKA Centre on Dashwood Road to develop a pilot project aimed at creating a youth club for 11-16 year olds. The goal is to provide a safe and enjoyable space for local young people to gather and have fun with added educational inputs.

Considerable effort has been invested in this long-term initiative, including consultations with local businesses and the submission of grant applications. We are now in the final stages of planning, and if our grant applications are successful, we hope to launch the youth club as soon as possible. Partnership with the Early Intervention team has resulted in them doing outreach on local streets around Evington Road to gauge what they would want from such a project to give them a voice too. Feedback so far has been positive from them.

The facility will offer activities such as snooker, pool, and other indoor games, all overseen by a fully trained youth coordinator. We are excited about the potential of this project and look forward to sharing more details about the launch date in the near future. PS Brown has visited the Markaz Quba Islamic Centre and will attend to speak to the congregation in August about the project and its aims to reduce serious violence and weapons linked to young people.
A recent result from the NPT has seen a juvenile, who was detained having thrown a knife into an electrical substation on College Avenue, subsequently receive a Community Order by the courts.
On a separate matter, the Complex Investigation team have published that two further arrests (now 12 in total) have been made regarding the double shooting that took place last November. You can find the link to this published update via our website: https://www.leics.police.uk/news/leicestershire/news/2024/july/two-further-arrests-following-incident-in-evington-road-leicester/

1 Jul 2024

Speeding as described.

Response (27 Jul 2024)

As mentioned next month, we take road safety seriously. Our team are working in partnership with the Evington and Coleman beats. This will be to produce an education programme for motorists and road users via the Road Safety Partnership. Plans are being set to train up Police Volunteers in a community speedwatch with the intention to be a visible presence. Enforcement will also take place in partnership with our Road Traffic Unit. PC Woolley and PCSO Trantom have more localised enforcement lined up in the coming weeks.

Particular areas of concern include Abingdon Road (large numbers of young people gathering until 3am), St James' Rd and Terrace (street drinking), Cedar Road (signs of drug use).

Response (27 Jul 2024)

We still remain focused on the Abingdon Road area. The team have conducted a street consultation and we are gathering evidence from local residents. The ASB investigation now has several perpetrators listed that we have delivered ASB advice and warnings too. In the background, we have investigations underway which will further disrupt the group. PCSO Trantom has also met with the Community Safety Team to discuss further options. They can be contacted directly by emailing [email protected] or contact local police via 101.
This month, PS Brown has also met with the Somali Development Services and it has been agreed that they will allow us to host beat surgeries at the venue (junction of Abingdon Road and Evington Road) from September. This will help us connect with a wider part of our community.

Drug dealing (Abingdon Rd), associated noise and accessing communal blocks (St Albans), littering of drugs packaging in open areas (Abingdon and Cedar), and cuckooing of vulnerable people

Response (27 Jul 2024)

From speaking with our Neighbourhood Priority Team (NPT), they have been had some positive results back. A male arrested in April on Evington Road has received a six-month suspended sentence and a £40,000 proceeds of crime order. Deportation is being sought also.
On a separate matter, three males from the beat actively linked to drugs intelligence were arrested from a stolen vehicle and from localised premises searched money was seized.
In June, the NPT took a joint approach with Action Homeless to execute a search warrant on Severn Street linked to a county line. Despite the targets not been at the address, a vulnerable victim of cuckooing was located and re-located to a more suitable arranged address. Locks were changed and a separate female was arrested for being wanted on warrant.
We are aware of littering and signs of drug use (packaging) on Cedar Park and patrols will look to remove adults (ie over 14s) from the park. LCC are aware of the issue and the City Warden has been linked in with.

Concern on the Evington Road corridor in particular and links of serious violence with young people

Response (27 Jul 2024)

This month, Sergeant Brown has been working closely with the MKA Centre on Dashwood Road to develop a pilot project aimed at creating a youth club for 11-16 year olds. The goal is to provide a safe and enjoyable space for local young people to gather and have fun with added educational inputs.

Considerable effort has been invested in this long-term initiative, including consultations with local businesses and the submission of grant applications. We are now in the final stages of planning, and if our grant applications are successful, we hope to launch the youth club as soon as possible. Partnership with the Early Intervention team has resulted in them doing outreach on local streets around Evington Road to gauge what they would want from such a project to give them a voice too. Feedback so far has been positive from them.

The facility will offer activities such as snooker, pool, and other indoor games, all overseen by a fully trained youth coordinator. We are excited about the potential of this project and look forward to sharing more details about the launch date in the near future. PS Brown has visited the Markaz Quba Islamic Centre and will attend to speak to the congregation in August about the project and its aims to reduce serious violence and weapons linked to young people.
A recent result from the NPT has seen a juvenile, who was detained having thrown a knife into an electrical substation on College Avenue, subsequently receive a Community Order by the courts.
On a separate matter, the Complex Investigation team have published that two further arrests (now 12 in total) have been made regarding the double shooting that took place last November.

Speeding as described.

Response (27 Jul 2024)

As mentioned next month, we take road safety seriously. Our team are working in partnership with the Evington and Coleman beats. This will be to produce an education programme for motorists and road users via the Road Safety Partnership. Plans are being set to train up Police Volunteers in a community speedwatch with the intention to be a visible presence. Enforcement will also take place in partnership with our Road Traffic Unit. PC Woolley and PCSO Trantom have more localised enforcement lined up in the coming weeks.

Particular areas of concern include Abingdon Road (large numbers of young people gathering but numbers reducing), St James Rd and Evington Rd (street drinking), Onslow Park, picked up from patch walk with multi-agencies and Cllr on 15/10/24

Response (24 Oct 2024)

The three-hour patch walk on 15/10/24 was a constructive exercise and an opportunity for a number of agencies to discuss what is happening on the beat. These included Councillor Mohammed, Community Safety Manager, Ward Engagement Co-ordinator, Highways, Traffic Operations, Flood risk management, Evington Road Neighbourhood Association, and South Evington resident's association.
We talked with local residents from Highfield Street to Evington Road. Emphasis was made by PS Brown regarding drug dealing and ASB on Abingdon Rd, its related urban street gang, the double-stabbing which took place at the junction of Abingdon and Evington Rd earlier in the year. I will provide an update on this group under the ‘Drugs’ priority. Numbers congregating have fallen, statements are underway from residents and PS Brown has completed a community impact statement. Partners were updated there is now a monthly beat surgery at Somali Development Services (SDS) which is proving popular. The team have been invited to 20th anniversary celebrations this weekend! They provide access to whole variety of advice and support to the community.
In that area, near to St James Road, we have responded to concerns about street drinking in the vicinity. A separate ASB investigation has been created and we’re working with Community Safety (with discussions over a pod camera via Ward Funding). It is a group we have given written ASB warnings to earlier in the year. Our plan is to combine the ASB incremental approach with immigration enforcement if individual circumstances necessitate. There was some concern over congregation of males at the bus stop at the bottom of Evington Road, parking up and being a noise nuisance on weekends especially until 0200hrs.
Please continue to report any ASB by emailing [email protected]
or by contacting local police via 101

Drug dealing (Abingdon Rd, Evington Footway, St James Rd), associated noise and accessing communal blocks (St Albans), littering of drugs packaging in open areas (Abingdon Road, Onslow Park)

Response (24 Oct 2024)

The Neighbourhood Priority Team (NPT) have been at it again supporting our determination tackle drug dealers on the beat. A brilliant result this week has been the arrest and remand of a key player in the Abingdon Road group. Charges were authorised for being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine and heroin, and possession of criminal property. The male has been dubbed an established supplier of drugs on the streets. He’s now been remanded to prison awaiting sentencing in November.
We are continuing to chase other drug dealers in the area and hope for further such positive results. It has been a very difficult and challenging period for residents of Abingdon Road from the group’s activities. We have been trying to solve the problem – linked to drug dealing – from a variety of angles and I appreciate their patience. We were concerned to reports of open drug use on the streets. Please submit any information via Crimestoppers if you wish to report anonymously. Thank you very much.

Concern on the Evington Road corridor in particular, and links of serious violence with young people across the beat

Response (24 Oct 2024)

We’re almost there with advertising a launch date for the Dashwood Hall youth club. You said you wanted activities for young people and PS Brown and PCSO Akhtar have been working closely with the Mulsim Khatri Association (MKA) to make it happen. The facility will offer activities such as snooker, pool, and other indoor games, all overseen by a fully trained youth coordinator which the Community Safety Partnership has funded. It’s for 13 weeks and I am pleased that further Ward Funding has been successful to give the project every chance of longevity. Exciting stuff! It was only this week that PS Brown met with members of the Bangladeshi community on St Stephen’s Road to discuss a primary concern of theirs; lack of youth provision in the area. This may work well going forward but we are keen to see what other activities we can look into for young people on the beat. If there are any budding volunteers or existing charities or bodies that wish to get involved then please get in touch. Or canvassing via Neighbourhood Link, and by the Early Intervention youth advocates on the streets, showed there is an appetite for positive activities for young people. We will combine the fun activities with inputs about internet safety, knife crime, gang culture, and peer pressure. We are excited about the potential of this project and look forward to sharing more details about the launch date in the near future.
To try and off-set some of the late night problems on Evington Road, we objected to another food establishment wishing to obtain until 5am most days. As Police, we can only object based on legitimate licensing objectives (particularly the prevention of crime and disorder). Our concerns were acknowledged and formed part of the Council’s decision to reject the establishment operating beyond 11pm. We wish to work with business partners but need to balance wider public safety concerns that have come from street violence since November last year.

Community patch walk with partners on 15/10/24 raised these road safety related issues. The summer period was not conducive to organising an effective campaign but plans in place to address this over the autumn and winter.

Response (24 Oct 2024)

In conjunction with the neighbouring Coleman and Evington beats, a traffic operation will be happening over coming weeks and into the new year. Traditionally, this has featured a drink drive campaign yet we will be looking at education and enforcement across a range of road safety aspects. It has been difficult to get this underway with limited staff, especially with the summer months competing demands, but by combining with PS Hall’s team we can make more of an impact. The NE15 Stoneygate beat, which encompasses narrower streets of the Highfields and the rather congested Evington Road, has its own road safety challenges. PS Brown took part in a patch walk on 15/10/24 and took on board key locations for us to help improve road safety. There have been complaints of parking in the junctions immediately off Evington Rd, parking on its zig-zags, and limited traffic flow. We have been in contact with Traffic Enforcement from the Council.
