Wycombe South

In our recent neighbourhood policing survey, drug offences continued to be voted as a community priority for the local neighbourhood team to focus on.

The Town centre neighbourhood tram continue to assist colleagues with drug operations to deal with all levels of drug use and supply. Last month, the team shut down two large Cannabis cultivation factories around the Deeds Grove area following an investigation. This resulted in a charge and remand for 1 male and 500 plants being discovered across the two properties. This means a large quantity of drugs have been prevented from reaching the streets and a source of organised crime has been heavily disrupted. The team will continue work like this to ensure drug offences are always being reduced.

The Wycombe Town centre team deal with a large variety of anti-social behaviour in the town, including street drinking in Frogmoor and the Churchyard, youths congregating and causing anti-social behaviour around the Eden centre, and shoplifting offences targeting the retail and business community.

In recent weeks, a dispersal order was enacted in response to the street drinking in the All Saints Churchyard with the aim to reclaim the area from those responsible for the anti-social behaviour. This was seen to be effective as 12 individuals were issued with orders to leave as well as multiple £100 fines. To ensure anti-social behaviour in the churchyard continues to be reduced, the team will target daily patrols there and seek to robustly enforce the public space protection order which prohibits the street drinking in the town centre, alcohol continues to be confiscated.

The Eden Centre and bus station continues to be patrolled at times of the day where anti-social behaviour is most likely. With the summer holidays coming up soon, the team will prepare for the seasonal rise in youth anti-social behaviour.

Shoplifting in the town centre continues to be managed by the neighbourhood retail crime investigation team. With a number of plain clothed and high visibility operations taking place, the team have recently dealt with x 6 shoplifting offenders with one very frequent shoplifter recently sentenced to time in prison for stealing £360 worth of items.

In our recent neighbourhood policing survey, local residents voted speeding as one of the priorities they would like their local neighbourhood team to focus on. Another traffic issue people regularly raise concerns about is obstructive and dangerous parking in the Town Centre and other residential areas.

The team continue their daily patrols of the town centre and routinely deal with vehicle and driving offences as they do so. Last month many fixed penalty notices were issued for a range of vehicle offences including parking all over the town centre. PCSOs from the team also continue to assist with school related parking, most recently reports were received for obstructive parking on Knights Templar way due to a local school sports day. This was attended to and as a result 20 tickets were issued.
