Dear residents, In April, we set three local priorities – Road safety and road traffic offences, drug dealing and drug misuse, and ASB nuisance motorcycles. These were based on what local people told us concerned them most in their neighbourhood, as well as local crime statistics and information from our partners (such as the local council). These priorities have been the focus of much of our work and below is an update about some of the work we have been doing to tackle them over the last three months. Drug dealing and drug misuse We have executed multiple warrants across the area covered by the Wellingborough neighbourhood policing team, as well as using stop and search powers. This has led to the seizures of Class A and B drugs. Investigations into drug supply are ongoing.We carried out a day of targeted action in the Hemmingwell and Wellingborough town centre areas over the last few months where officers were deployed in plain clothes to tackle drugs offences.Officers have intercepted drugs that were due to be delivered in the post to the Wellingborough area. Road safety and road traffic offences Officers have carried out a speed enforcement operation in the Queensway area which resulted in 11 people being issued with speeding warningsMultiple vehicles have been seized for having no tax by the Wellingborough neighbourhood policing team.Operation Tides has been launched which is dedicated to tackling the illegal use of e-bikes and e-scooters across the county, and will be running over the summer period. Officers have seized four e-scooters so far. ASB nuisance motorcycles Officers have responded to multiple calls to off road motorcycles. Some have failed to stop for police and committed further offences.Three off road motorcycles in the Redwell area were stopped travelling to a park in the Hemmingwell area by officers. One of the bikes failed to stop, and the vehicle was seized for having no insurance. The driver was issued a traffic ticket.Officers recovered a stolen motorbike that was found in rural Wellingborough. Everyone who lives or works in Northamptonshire is invited to tell us about any local issues that concern them and the easiest way to do this is by completing our Local Priorities survey
