our local neighbourhood policing team has been out in force across Ramsgate, carrying out a mixture of high-visibility and proactive patrols to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour.

👮 High-Visibility PatrolsOfficers have been conducting reassurance patrols throughout the town, engaging with residents, businesses, and visitors while maintaining a visible presence in key locations.

🔍 Drug Stop SearchesSeveral stop searches were carried out based on intelligence and officer observations, targeting those suspected of involvement in drug-related activity.

🛴 Illegal E-Scooters SeizedOfficers seized 6 high-powered e-scooters being used unlawfully on public roads. These vehicles do not comply with current legislation and can pose a significant risk to both riders and other road users.

🚲 Illegal Electric Bikes SeizedA further 4 illegally modified electric bikes were seized after being found to be operating outside legal requirements.

🕵️ Plain Clothes OperationAs part of ongoing efforts to tackle anti-social behaviour and the dangerous use of off-road bikes, officers conducted a plain clothes operation, resulting in the seizure of a high-powered off-road electric bike.

🛒 Shoplifters Arrested and ChargedWorking closely with local retailers, officers identified and arrested a number of suspected shoplifters. Those arrested have since been charged and will appear before the courts.

🚨 Responding to Emergency CallsAlongside proactive policing activity, officers have continued responding to emergency calls and incidents across the district, ensuring that those requiring urgent assistance receive a prompt police response.
