Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.

Issued 04 November 2025

Officers have increased high‑visibility foot patrols and used both marked and unmarked police vehicles to prevent and deter anti‑social behaviour. Officers are engaging directly with groups and individuals, explaining the impact their actions have on the community and encouraging positive choices. Where appropriate, we have used stop‑and‑search powers, leading to the seizure of items. Acting on information from the community, we worked with Immigration Enforcement to make several arrests for human trafficking and modern slavery linked to an illegal brothel. We’re also working with partner agencies, including Porchlight, to reduce antisocial behaviour (ASB). These actions have contributed to a reduction in ASB‑related incident reports.

Working jointly with the Neighbourhood Task Force, we focused on known offenders and vehicles connected to drug activity. This work has led to several significant results, including arrests for drug-related offences. A number of suspects have been charged and are now going through the court process.
