Leicester Forest East, Kirby Muxloe and Glenfield

Anti-social behaviour is a priority for the local beat team. We seem some reports of anti-social behaviour in the local parks and also around some retail locations. The beat team will regularly patrol these area and always seek to identify perpetrators. We work with our partner agencies to tackle this issue using an incremental and educational approach to break the cycle. The beat team where appropriate use a method referred to as a Community Resolution. This gives victims an opportunity to have perpetrators understand the impact of their behaviour and requires perpetrators to be accountable for their behaviour and make right what they have done. This can include letters of apology, re-imbursement for damage caused or being banned from entering a particular location.

- The beat team have been working to identify a group of people have been throwing objects and kicking doors in Glenfield. CCTV has been checked and IDs are being sought.
- We have received further reports of doors being kicked in Leicester Forest East, people involved have been spoken to and sanctions give.

Road Safety and speeding are another priority for the team. We regularly review locations where speeding and unsafe driving have been reported. The beat team organise speeding enforcement operations on a regular basis. We have seen some reports in relation to the improper use of E-scooters and the beat team will be completing educational inputs into their proper use and legality.

The beat team are working with Leicestershire County Council on the issues being caused around the road closure in Kirby Muxloe. Further patrols will be conducted whilst this road remains closed.

Theft from motor vehicles and theft of motor vehicles is another identified priority for the area. There has been a general increase in theft of motor vehicles using keyless entry which is where new technology is being used such as scanners to unlock and remove vehicles off driveways, we are urging residents to use such tactics as RFID blocking pouches. The local beat team continually work with residents and businesses to promote vehicle safety and security.

The beat team continue to patrol areas affected by vehicle crime and also speaking to those affected providing them with crime prevention advice.

Residential Burglary is still a new priority for the beat team. We are very much aware of the concerns for our residents and continue to offer reassurance with regards to proactive policing and disrupting those that commit offences on our area. Not only do dwellings get targeted but also sheds, garages and other outbuildings. Crime prevention and sharing of information will continue. With the use of social media platforms, CCTV and other information concerning suspicious activity will be shared.

- Targeted patrols have taken place across the beat whilst also conducting enquiries after burglaries have taken place.
