To reduce and prevent theft from stores and support local businesses with retail crime.

Response (27 Nov 2024)

During the week commencing 14th October, the team conducted a number activities as part of our response to the retail crime week of action. This included a number of beat surgeries at CO-OP Aikman Avenue, CO-OP Sharmon Crescent, Tesco Ryder Road and One Stop Stephenson Drive.
During November we have been a visible presence at the stores within the beat, monitoring repeat offenders with visits and are seeking assistance from the courts with Criminal Behaviour Order for our most prominent offender.
We will continue to target those causing harm to the retail sector and seek positive outcomes and the recovery of stolen items.

The beats team have been conducting patrols throughout the throughout October and have held regular beat surgeries at the community rooms, within the flats.
The beat are also working with local schools regarding youths who have identified as causing harm in the community and with the community safety team.
During November the team have been working well within the community and with Team hub to try and identify vulnerable persons who could be targeted for cuckooing. We have conducted targeted patrols both high visibility and plain clothes. Intelligence has been developed and the team are exploring enforcement opportunities.
