Anti-social behaviour guidance


Dear Resident

We are working hard to tackle Anti-social behaviour (ASB) in the areas of Comberton and Offmore and the information provided to us by residents can be essential in taking action to make a difference where you live.

 

We have two immediate items of concern in relation to ASB.

The first being a group of teenagers that are terrorising elderly residents in their own home. They are throwing apples at the properties, kicking doors and using metal poles to bang on windows and doors alike.  As you can imagine hearing this is causing distress to those affected. We will be working with other agencies to gather names and addresses of those involved, but ask the community to also contact us with any information that can assist us in dealing with this robustly.

 

The second is reports of a lime green motorbike being ridden at speed around these areas. The male riding it is of large build and is not wearing a helmet. We don't believe the bike to have number plates. If you know who this is, where the bike is housed, please contact us by calling 101 or Crimestoppers, by calling 0800 555 111 or by visiting their website: www.crimestoppers-uk.org

 

  

Some ASB incidents might be an issue for your local council so it may be useful to know to who contact.

Here are some examples of ASB that we want to know about:

  • Fireworks misuse (full laws and guidance on our website)
  • Abandonment of cars
  • Aggressive animals or use of animals in illegal activities 
  • Nuisance noise from people being inconsiderate in a public space
  • Indecent, threatening or offensive phone calls
  • Street drinking causing disruptive behaviour
  • Vehicle nuisance such as street racing and riding unlicensed powered vehicles
  • Here are some examples of ASB that isn’t a police matter and your local council could be informed on:

  • Someone blocking your driveway 
  • Stray dog that isn’t sick or injured
  • Nuisance noise from pubs and clubs, and construction sites
  • General littering, fly-tipping, hazardous items
  • Neighbour disputes such as loud music or dogs barking, parking, property boundaries, overgrowing trees and hedges
  • Trespassing without causing damage or harm
  • Full guidance on ASB and the different types can be found here: Antisocial behaviour | West Mercia Police

    Or you can find your local council here: Find your local council - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

    Should you have any concerns about potential ASB, or are experiencing ASB where you live, please contact your local council or if necessary report it to us: Report antisocial behaviour | West Mercia Police

    In an emergency, if you or your property are at risk, or a crime is in progress call 999.

    If you aren’t comfortable contacting us directly, you can pass on information anonymously to the independent charity, Crimestoppers, by calling 0800 555 111 or by visiting their website: www.crimestoppers-uk.org

    Thank you for your help. It is only by the police and the public working together that we can prevent and detect crime.
