Drug dealing

Drug dealing has continued to be targeted through positive action led by PC Rowclife. Overall crime was down 36% in April 2025 compared to April 2024 but did rise by 15% in May 2025 compared to May 2024. May 2024 was an exceptionally low month historically. We continue to work closely with partners to safeguard victims and target organised criminality.

Priority:
Anti social behaviour
Action taken:
The Neighbourhood Police Team continue to tackle anti-social behaviour in Grangetown and Normanby, particularly around the Banksfield area. These areas still have dedicated additional patrol plans to disrupt those who cause our community to feel harassed or unsafe in their local area. We are working with our partners to ensure that the local minority of people who are causing this ASB are held to account. As a result, we have successfully issued a total of 7 community protection warnings and notices to individuals. We are also targeting those who are involved in the receipt of drugs through using the mail system. These drugs are regularly intercepted, the individuals receiving these packages are currently in danger of losing their home through residential closures working jointly with the council. If you are dealing drugs or involved in the supply, you will most definitely be likely to lose your home in the process.

Priority:
Off Road Bikes
Action taken:
The local teams have and will continue to focus on prevention, identification and the arrest of persons using off road bikes. We are using the tools available to us to carry out our mission to disrupt the minority of individuals who choose to continue to disrupt the community.
We are running specific operations that target these individuals. Within the last 3 months we have ran 9 operations specifically targeting off road bikes. We have used the intelligence you provide to help us identify individuals and locations where we have been able to seize 7 off road bikes from individuals within the community with investigations ongoing and many charged with further charges likely. We are working closely with partners to achieve evidence to support civil orders such as criminal behaviour orders to use against those who use off road bikes with a total of 3 issued. The bikes seized from individuals have been destroyed meaning that there are 7 less bikes in the community. This has most definitely disrupted and, we will continue to monitor and remove any further bikes they make attempts to replace them. We have dedicated and monitored patrol routes during our operations. Our focus will continue to build our intelligence identifying locations to target unlawful off road bike owners.
We continue to work closely with the fire service to identify and prevent those who set fire to our Eston hills. There are operations that are taking place to prevent and identify offenders though use of drones. These operations will continue to run throughout the summer periods.
