We are currently working on setting our new local priorities for October 2025 to March 2026. These will be announced later this month.

Issued 06 October 2025

Our priorities are set for a six month period and reviewed every three months to ensure we continue to deal with what matters most to local people, taking account of feedback shared in our local priorities survey and local crime data.

With the support of two drug search dogs and their handlers, the neighbourhood teams visited nine pubs and clubs in Wellingborough, Wollaston and Irchester on Friday, July 25. During the operation, officers conducted a total of 14 stop searches under Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act, which resulted in nine individual drugs seized – two Class A (cocaine) and seven Class B (cannabis). Most of the people found in possession of cannabis were issued with an out of court disposal to complete an online drugs link course and four hours of immediate justice (unpaid work), but voluntary interviews were offered to others, including those in possession of cocaine. In addition to this, three further individual drugs – two cannabis and one cocaine – were found within premises, while one person was dealt with for being in possession of a knife in a public place
