Burnham, Farnhams and Taplow

Burglary remains a significant concern for communities across South Buckinghamshire, including Burnham, the Farnhams and Taplow. As we enter the autumn and winter months, when burglary offences traditionally increase due to longer hours of darkness, the neighbourhood policing team will continue to focus on prevention, disruption of offenders and providing crime prevention advice to residents.

The neighbourhood team have completed cocooning in areas around Fern Drive, Lent Rise Road and surrounding areas. Cocooning is the process in which residents in areas that have recently been impacted by burglary are provided with crime prevention resources, to prevent the area becoming repeatedly targeted by burglary. In addition to leaflet drops and home visits, we have been using our communication and social media channels to highlight and bring awareness to crime prevention advice to alert as many people in our community as possible.

Nightly high visibility patrols focused on detecting and deterring burglary continued to be carried out as part of operation Grotto - our annual winter burglary campaign to combat the seasonal rise in this offending.

Anti-social behaviour remains a key priority for residents across Burnham, Farnham Common and Taplow, having been highlighted as one of the main concerns in recent community surveys. The neighbourhood team continues to tackle these issues through targeted patrols, engagement with local residents and businesses, and partnership working with other agencies.
Particular concerns have been raised in Burnham, where there have been ongoing reports of anti-social behaviour in Burnham Park.

The neighbourhood team have completed increased patrols in and around Burnham Park following reports of suspicious activity and anti-social behaviour. A stop check was carried out and one individual linked to these reports has been issued a community protection warning.

The team are also dealing with ongoing reports regarding e-scooters and E-Bikes. The team continue to carry out patrols in response to this matter, with an aim to identify offenders and stop and seize the E-Bike/E-Scooter when seen.
