You said, we did- community update from your Kettering team

Dear residents,

In July we set three local priorities for the Kettering area and surrounding villages including Ise, Burton, Broughton, Rothwell, Mawsley and Desborough. These were road safety and road traffic offences, drug dealing and drug misuse, and burglary. These priorities were based on concerns raised by local residents, together with local crime data and information provided by partner agencies, such as the local council.

These priorities have been the focus of much of our work over the past three months. Below is an update on some of the activity undertaken by the Kettering Neighbourhood Policing Team to address them:

Road safety and road traffic offences

We continue to carry out regular speed enforcement activity in key hotspot areas highlighted by the community, issuing warning letters where most appropriate and fixed penalty notices to others for speeding offences.

We have seized 15 vehicles in this period for offences such as no insurance or no MOT.

We have made four arrests relating to road safety offences such a drink and drug driving and disqualified driving.

We have issued a total of 20 fixed penalty notices for road safety offences such as speeding and driving standards and reported 14 further drivers for summons for offences.

Working alongside partners, we continue to carry out parking patrols outside local schools issuing tickets to offending vehicles where appropriate.

Drug dealing and drug misuse

Following information from the community, we have secured four arrests relating to drug offences.

We have also secured seven charges and 12 out of court disposals for drug related offences.

We have executed multiple warrants relating to drug offences following intelligence from the community.

We continue to carry out regular checks at the addresses of those identified as being vulnerable to being exploited by drug dealers (cuckooing).

Burglary

We continue to support with burglary investigations visiting the area of every domestic burglary, carrying out proactive patrols in areas to prevent further offences, supporting vulnerable victims, and working with other agencies to provide security advice.

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 every few months so we can be sure we have your current views. You can complete the survey here.

Kind regards, Kettering Neighbourhood Policing Team
