🐑 A day with Rural Crime 🐑

🐄 PCSO Doar and Eaton were joined today by PCSO Hadley from the Derbyshire Rural Crime Team and have been visiting as many local farms as possible, offering free Horsebox, trailer and power tool marking, using Datatag—a great way to protect equipment and deter thieves.

🔍 What is Datatag?
Datatag is a specialist security marking system that uses a mix of visible and hidden identifiers, including unique ID numbers, microdots, and forensic marking. This helps police trace and recover stolen items and makes property far less attractive to criminals. 🚫

🚜 This has been a great day to get to know our local farmers and work with our Rural Crime team. We even have a little Rural Crime Officer in the making!!

🚨 Whilst we were out and about an incident was reported to us regarding two young children shooting pigeons with a catapult. In the UK all wild birds, their nests, and their eggs are protected by law. It is against the law to intentionally kill, injure, or take wild birds, unless carried out under a licence. Offences can carry a prison sentence of up to six months. We were unable to identify anyone from this offence today however if you are aware of this incident or witnessed it and have any information, please ring 101 quoting incident 700-110426 🚨

🚓 Vehicle Seized 🚓

On Tuesday, officers from Long Eaton SNT proactively stopped this vehicle after it had alerted them on our ANPR system for potentially being involved in crime.

The van was pulled over on Station Road, Sandiacre and the driver was found to have no driving licence and no insurance, therefore the vehicle was seized under 165 of the Road Traffic Act.

The driver will now be summoned to court for driving offences and due to not being the registered keeper of the vehicle, will not get the van back.

📹 ANPR - Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras instantly detect, deter, and disrupt criminal activity by reading vehicle registration marks (VRMs) and matching them against databases of interest.

Long Eaton SNT are active ! 🪴 🍂 🚔

Today, officers have again taken down a cannabis grow on Walton Street, Long Eaton.

Despite having a "high"-tec security setup, officers gained access to the property in good time.

As you can see from the setup, cannabis grows are extremely dangerous to any properties around. They are often well hidden in properties, creating serious risks not only from illegal activity but also from the fire hazards they pose.

If you have any information that could help us detect a cannabis grow near you then please contact us via 101 or you can report online on the Derbyshire Constabulary website.

We know that information held by our communities can help us to keep people safe from such crimes. We also know that our communities need to trust that we will listen to them and take action when we need to.

SEIZED | Modified E-bike 🚲

If you remember, back in January, we posted about what classifies as an EAPC (electrically assisted pedal cycle) and that if it does not comply with those regulations it will be treated as a motor vehicle under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 ....

This bike, that was spotted by SNT officers on Monday, does NOT meet the regulations and was therefore has been seized under section 165 of the Road Traffic Act.

The modifications to this bike were extremely dangerous and started sparking when it was seized. We would like to remind everyone of the regulations for an EAPC -

🚲 Be fitted with pedals that can propel it
🚲 Have an electric motor with a maximum continuous rated power not exceeding 250 watts
🚲 Cut off electrical assistance when it reaches 15.5 miles per hour (MPH)
