Priority:
Drug activity and issues with E-Bikes and E-Scooters that are being used on the Recreation Ground, Recreation Road Burghfield Common.
Action taken:
This priority will continue into our new set of priorities as it’s a concern raised by the community and officers from the local Neighbourhood Policing team will continue to conduct foot patrol in and around the area.
On 28th of June 2026 a male was stopped and searched on the Recreation Road and a small amount of herbal cannabis was located on him. He was issued with a Community Resolution.
The team has now seized 20 E-Scooters across the Policing area for the neighbourhood.

Priority:
Retail crime Co-Op Victoria Road Mortimer. Repeated incidents of shoplifting from the Co-Op Mortimer.
Action taken:
Update: A male was arrested and charged on 26/04/2026 for 15 thefts from the CO-OP Mortimer and 1 Public Order Offence against staff at the same location.
He is due in court in June 2026 for sentencing.
We will continue to support our local businesses. Update from court, the male in question was convicted of the offences mentioned above. He was made subject to a drug rehabilitation order. -
Priority:
Anti-Social behaviour in Bunces Lane, Burghfield Common, and surrounding areas. There have been reports of people firing catapults at properties in the area, causing damage.
Action taken:
Again this month we have seen a reduction in report of catapults in this area however it would seem that the issue has moved to the Mortimer area. There have been recent reports of eggs being thrown at houses in Burghfield Common.
This issue will remain our priority over the coming month.
