Locally Identified Priorities: Giving feedback - you said, we did

Here’s a round-up of recent activity by our neighbourhood officers to address local policing priorities and tackle crime and anti-social behaviour in Wellingborough and surrounding villages.

Dear Resident

Between November 1, 2024, and March 31, 2025, the three local priorities set for the areas covered by the Wellingborough Neighbourhood Policing Team were drug dealing and misuse, burglary, and road safety and traffic matters.

These priorities have been the focus of much of the neighbourhood team’s work over the last six months, working in partnership with the local authority, parish and town councils, housing agencies and other partners. Below is an update about some of the work we have been doing to tackle them:

Drug dealing and misuse

There have been 97 drug related incidents recorded – 67 for drug possession and 30 in relation to drug trafficking

Fourteen people have been charged, 26 have received community resolutions and five have received cautions

In March 2025, an officer discovered a possession with intent offence, which led to a further suspect being located and hundreds of wraps of a Class A substance, valued at thousands of pounds, being seized. This was a new drug line that was being introduced to Wellingborough

Burglary

Various surgeries have been held around Wellingborough and surrounding areas, offering further advice to help prevent and deter burglaries

Road safety and traffic matters

Neighbourhood officers have issued 45 traffic tickets for various offences, including careless driving and no insurance

Speed enforcement operations have commenced in the Wellingborough area
