Issued 03 February 2026

Officers have continued proactive patrols across the area, both on foot and in marked and unmarked police vehicles. Where possible, CCTV opportunities are identified to help capture images of suspects.

Catapults.

Issued 03 February 2026

We are aware of an increase in reports involving groups of young people using catapults in the local area. Catapults have been identified as an issue nationally, as they can be used to cause damage to property or harm wildlife.

While we await clearer national legislation around carrying catapults in public, officers continue to patrol areas of concern. We are also raising awareness through local schools and, where appropriate, using educational workbooks with young people found in possession of catapults to explain the risks and consequences of this behaviour.
