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 Northampton and surrounding areas. Dear Resident
Between November 1, 2024, and March 31, 2025, the three local priorities set for the areas covered by the Northampton Neighbourhood Policing Team were burglary, drugs and road safety.
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: Burglary Officers have attended numerous Beat Bus surgeries and Crimestoppers events where we’ve been able to speak with local people and share crime prevention adviceWe have also shared crime information and prevention advice with members of the Northamptonshire Talking community messaging systemHotspot patrols have taken place in areas affected by burglary and ‘Stand up to Crime’ information packs have been distributed. Drugs Throughout December, January and February, we executed 15 positive drug warrants, located and dismantled multiple cannabis grows, and identified numerous suspects in possession of drugs through stop and search and vehicle stops. This has been possible due to information and intelligence gathered to support officers in tackling your locally identified priorities.A large-scale drugs operation was completed resulting in eight warrants being executed under the Misuse of Drugs Act. Eleven people were charged with conspiracy to supply Class A and are awaiting trial. Road safety Tickets have been issued for various traffic offences along London Road and Penvale Road, including for speeding, driving with no insurance and driving otherwise in accordance with a licenceOfficers have given words of advice and issued tickets issued for varying driving offences at multiple locations across NorthamptonTraffic operations and speed enforcement and monitoring has been conducted at various locationsMultiple vehicle stops have taken place, including one vehicle stopped as a result of information from the community about illegal vehicle modifications |
