Inspector Sandra Capkan Croxteth, Norris Green & Clubmoor November 2014- January 2015 In the run up to Christmas I feel it important to remind you the dangers of leaving valuables openly on display, both at home and in your car. We are all busy stocking up on Christmas presents, but I’d like to remind people not to leave them on display in their cars or their homes. Criminals could see this as easy pickings, not only will you lose your items but it is also likely to cost you money in having to pay for repairs caused when breaking in, normally smashed windows. As we are entering a period of cold weather, please look out for your neighbours, particularly the elderly. When you are defrosting your car, DON’T leave your car unattended with the engine running. Thieves DO drive around early in the morning looking for in prison for a male opportunities to steal cars left in this way. As this from Croxteth for is my last column of 2014, I would like to take this driving dangerously on opportunity to thank all local residents, parents, an off road bike. shopkeepers, and young people across the communities of Merseyside for your continued support this year. We have dealt with many My team and I issues as the year has progressed, from antiwish you and social behaviour, to burglaries and cannabis your family farms and we have had some very successful best wishes results. I look forward to continuing our work through 2015. for 2015. 15 months These are the priorities you told us that we should be tackling with our partners and local community. Croxteth residents said: • ASB & Off road Bikes Langley Close. We did.. Police officers and Police Community Support Officers have provided extra attention in this area on foot, vehicle, quad bike and cycle patrols. We have also provided the mobile Police station for members of the public to use to discuss any issues they may have. 11 youths have had letters sent to their parents and 5 have been taken to their home address and parents advised. 5 fireworks have also been seized. A large number of names have been taken from youths causing annoyance and are frequenting this area. We have stored the details and continue to analyse looking for the repeat offenders. Further work will then be aimed at those responsible. Our team have also been working closely with LASBU and will be starting civil proceedings against the main offenders. Norris Green residents said • ASB Scargreen and surrounding area We did.. Patrols have been stepped up within the area and officers have already made an impact with positive feedback from residents saying that it has been much quieter and that they are happy with the difference made. Clubmoor residents said: • Shop Lifting Broadway We did.. There has been a 58 % decrease in offences of theft from the Broadway / Broad Lane area. The PCSO’S have been deployed to this area on a daily basis to reassure the public and retailers and to deter the shop lifters from the area. The PCSO’s have assisted the stores with some of the offenders by either working with the store to implement a banning order or detaining the offenders until they are either arrested or served with a fixed penalty notice. Paul McNally, who has an ASBO prohibiting him from entering the area, has been seen by PCSO’S breaching the order, and has been arrested by the support officers. The next ‘Have your say’ meeting dates are as follows: Norris Green 25th November Christ Church, Sedgemoor Road at 10:30am. Croxteth 26th November at 2pm – Rhys Jones Centre, Langley Close. Clubmoor 25th November St Christopher’s Church, Lorenzo Drive at 12 midday. On Halloween and mischief night, a large number of Officers patrolled the streets with the aim of minimising damage and ASB. On both nights there were fewer than 30 reported incidents of ASB and damage. This was a huge success and we believe this is largely due to the large amount of diversionary activities that were put in place by agencies within the area. This includes a large event attended by over 200 youths ran by PCSO’s Marie, Vicky and Casey in Walton Sports Centre. Robby the Bobby also held his football tournaments. PCSO Jacqui assisted Norris Green Youth centre in their mischief night events which included a roller disco and Halloween costume making. Norris There are a number of things you can do to help keep your home safe, such as: • • • Locking your windows and doors when you go out or go to bed. Using your house alarm if you've got one. Light timer switches are a good idea too. Making sure you lock your UPVC door properly if you have one remember to lift the handle, turn the key and then remove it. Green alliance arranged a trip to Blackpool on mischief night and a Halloween party at Ellergreen Sports Centre which PCSO’s Elaine and Sarah assisted with face painting. Risbury Road tenants association arranged a Halloween party with a number of activities which was well attended. Local youth centre, Croxteth Gems arranged an outing to Blackpool and was able to take a large number of both teen and younger children out for mischief night. The Federation also took a large number of children from the area to Farmegeddon. The agencies working together helped make a huge difference and the extra patrols reassured the community.
