Anti social behaviour in Maidenhead high street involving E-bikes, Scooters and Youths loitering

Throughout March, the NHPT team have completed the following after listening to public concerns,
A male who is involved in regular high value shoplifting has been recalled to prison and will look to be in jail until the back end of the year.
A vulnerable person was safeguarded and safely returned to the care of a parent, with welfare considerations addressed.
High visibility patrols were conducted within Grenfell, Kidwells and Ockwells Parks. Officers engaged positively with park users, providing reassurance and addressing any concerns raised.
Officers engaged with several local retailers, speaking with store staff and security personnel. Feedback was positive, with staff expressing appreciation for the police presence.
Additional patrols were carried out in Furze Platt, Cox Green and the Stafferton / Alpine Close areas. Officers visited a high demand address and spoke with neighbouring residents as part of ongoing problem solving activity. This matter is nearing the threshold for escalation to formal enforcement action.
Community engagement was further supported through the completion of three “Have Your Say” events at Maidenhead Library, Desborough Park and Frogmore Court, allowing members of the public to speak directly with officers and raise local concerns.
Arrangements are underway for two local retailers to be signed up to DISC, supporting partnership working, information sharing, and crime prevention.

Theft of Vehicle and Bikes

NHPT have been completing regular operations in the town centre concentrating on theft of bikes, and the ASB which surrounds the use of electric bikes/ escooters in the town centre. We are in contact with BTP and looking to complete more operations around the train stations to prevent theft of biked and theft from vehicles.
