About us

Local policing teams are groups of officers dedicated to serving the community. Teams are made up of officers based in the area, supported by additional officers from the wider area. 

Teams work closely with local authorities, organisations, partners and residents to decide policing priorities. This helps teams find long-term solutions to local problems.

    Vehicle Crime

    Issued 10 March 2026

    Action taken:

    In the early hours of 18/04, officers sighted a stolen vehicle being driven in the Penylan area. This vehicle was stopped and occupant arrested. The investigation that followed, linked the 34-year-old male to several recent theft offences that have taken place in the area. 

    He has since been charged with vehicle crime offences (x6), shed burglary and driving offences (x2).

    Actioned 10 June 2026

    Drug dealing - Waterloo Gardens

    Proactive high visibility patrols have taken place and we are no longer receiving reports of drug dealing at this location. One female who was causing significant issues in the community relating to drug use/supply was arrested for violent crime and is no longer residing locally. Therefore this is no longer a priority in the area.
