At a recent ward panel meeting the police gave the following information.

In Cann Hall and Cobden Roads there have been problems of antisocial behaviour, drug dealing and gang related activity. Police patrols have resulted in arrests being made.

Regarding burglaries there have been 22 between March and June. This is a big decrease on last year and much less than neighbouring areas.

During the same period there have been 57 motor vehicle crimes, again down on last year, but still higher than neighbouring areas.

Police priorities remain – antisocial behaviour by youths – burglaries and theft from, and of, motor vehicles.
