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.

    Off Road Bikes

    Issued 04 December 2025

    Action taken:

    Officers have seized a further 55 illegal e-bikes and scooters during a recent deployment in Cardiff.
    On Sunday 25 and Friday 30 January, officers in Cardiff were deployed across the city centre, Ely, Fairwater, Cathays and Roath as part of a local initiative targeting illegal and dangerously ridden e-bikes and off-road vehicles in our towns.
    Rolling out after a briefing at Cardiff Central, the local Neighbourhood Policing Team was supported by colleagues from Cardiff Council and Home Immigration Enforcement to patrol across different areas of the city to check the vehicles, educate drivers and if needed, seize the vehicle.
    A total of 55 e-bikes and e-scooters were seized during the deployment. Some of which were tested and shown to reach speeds in excess of 80mph.
    This operation goes beyond simply riding these vehicles illegally. Officers also made three arrests for Possession with Intent to Supply Class B (Cannabis) and Home Office Immigration Enforcement had a successful deployment with 3 arrests, all bailed and reported for breach of bail and working illegally in the UK.
    Inspector Tim Ursell said:
    "These are great results that will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the members of local communities whose lives are continually disrupted by the dangerous and anti-social riding of off-road and illegal road vehicles.
    "Combating anti-social behaviour is a key pillar of the Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee with this op showing our continued commitment in Cardiff to tackling this issue."

    Issued 01 September 2025

    Action taken:

    Officers have worked closely with shops in the area and will continue to do so.
    NPT are conducting regular patrols on Merthyr Road and surrounding areas. Two shoplifters have been caught in the act over the recent months and a number of others have been identified through CCTV and put them before the Courts.

    One prolific shoplifter has been issued a Community Protection Warning notice and can no longer attend Merthyr Road, Tesco Extra Park Road or enter any CO OP`s across Cardiff due to persistently targeting these shops and causing staff distress.

    We are in the process of working with shops to introduce STORENET radio systems which will allow the shops and NPT to be in regular contact. We hopeful these will be introduced before the Christmas period
