Shenley Brook End and Tattenhoe

Antisocial behaviour including use of privately owned e-scooters and E-bikes in a public place as well as hired e-scooters being ridden in a dangerous manner.

E-scooters are being used in areas with heavy pedestrian activity such as red ways, around and Westcroft District centre.
Residents have reported people riding two or three up on hire scooters and people riding private hire scooters too fast.

We have recently added a “hotspot” patrol location inclusive of Elfield Park. As well as this, we have completed joint operations with our tasking team and will continue to drive the enforcement in relation to the concerns raised on a monthly basis.
We are continuing to promote and educate members of the public, engage with schools around the use/law on private e-scooters. We have issued warning letters and seized a number of scooters as part of our operations.

Shoplifting & Youth ASB Westcroft District Centre

We are still patrolling daily, having identified Westcroft as a “hotspot” patrol location. We promote the use of DISC signups and ASB reporting. We have continued to sign stores up to this system. We have seen a decline in issues and hope that this will continue to decline.
These patrols will continue over the summer holidays.
We obtain any still images/CCTV of offenders involved and liaise with schools such as Shenley Brooke End Academy and Hazeley Academy to identify those involved and obtain contact information for parents.

Drug dealing – Westcroft District Centre & surrounding car parks.

The shops and restaurants at Westcroft District Centre and surrounding car parks are seeing an increased level of drug use and dealing.
Patrols and engagements on a daily basis inclusive of our “hotspot” locations. We have conducted stop and searches of vehicles and will continue with patrols in relation to this but have seen a decline in reports.
