You said, we did- community update from your Kingsthorpe, Headlands and Boothville Team

Dear residents,

In July we set three local priorities for the Kingsthorpe, Headlands and Boothville area. These were burglary, road safety and road traffic offences, and drug dealing and drug misuse. 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 Kingsthorpe, Headlands and Boothville Neighbourhood Policing Team to address them:

Burglary

Over this period, there have been 24 reported burglaries and 8 reported attempted burglaries of a home. 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.

Road safety and road traffic offences

Over this period, there have been 69 reported thefts from motor vehicles, 17 reported thefts of motor vehicles, and 15 reported vehicle interferences.

Operation Stormecho continues across the area dedicated to tackling illegal e-scooters and e-bikes.

We have also carried out a speed enforcement operation in the Headlands, Parklands and Eastfield ward, resulting in five speeding tickets being issued, and five warnings.

Drug dealing and drug misuse

Over this period, there have been eight offences recorded for trafficking-controlled drugs, and nine recorded drug possession offences. Ten of these resulted in a positive outcome including six charges, three community resolutions, and one adult caution.

We have executed one warrant in relation to drug offences in the Kingsthorpe area, resulting in the discovery of a cannabis factory consisting of more than 150 plants which was dismantled, and one person was arrested.

Officers have used stop and search powers on 18 occasions across this period.

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.

For more information about local priorities and how and why we set them, please read our Priorities Q&A here.

Kind regards, Northampton Suburban Neighbourhood Policing Team
