| Fun in the Sun @ Brooklands

We had the pleasure to attend Brooklands Primary school in Long Eaton yesterday afternoon where we took part in the afterschool fun and games. I think everyone we met enjoyed the chat to our team and being put in 'the cage' of the police van proved extremely popular with both adults and children alike. We were almost as popular as the Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Team for a change!... and the chance to climb in and out of a Fire Engine is hard to beat! 🤣

What a great afternoon, thanks for inviting us along.

🚔 Long Eaton Police Proactive Vehicle Stop A Success 🚔

On Sunday 6th July, Long Eaton Safer Neighbourhood officers PC Ramshaw and PCSO Cooper carried out a regular vehicle patrol in the area. Whilst they were out and about in the area, PC RAMSHAW utilising police systems, noted a vehicle driving in the Sandiacre area which had been on the police radar for drugs activity.

The pair of officers, using local knowledge of the road network found the moving vehicle just outside Sandiacre, where the vehicle was stopped without any pursuit required at the Nottinghamshire border. The male driving the car was searched under section 23 of the misuse of drugs act, where a substantial amount of class A drugs and cash were found. The male aged 34 was arrested for possession and intent to supply class A drugs, he was then quickly taken into police custody.

A section 18 search was then carried out at an address in Nottinghamshire, which the male was linked to. Inside after the search of the property officers found more class A drugs, along with weapons and cash.

PC Ramshaw commented on his arrest said, "I noticed this vehicle driving a suspicious route around Sandiacre and the Notts border and was determined to find out what the vehicle was up to. Myself and PCSO Cooper, got ourselves into a great position to intercept the vehicle and as soon as we saw the vehicle we made sure we stopped the vehicle safely". PC Ramshaw added, "Myself and the team are committed to making Erewash a safer place, if we get information that someone is dealing harmful drugs on our streets we will act and take drugs and weapons off the streets; also seizing cash made from nefarious criminal activity". The investigation continues.

| Illegal To***co and Vapes Seized in Long Eaton

Long Eaton SNT officers assisted Derbyshire Trading Standards last week where three local shops in Long Eaton town centre were targeted on suspicion of selling illegal to***co and va**ng products.

In carrying out the operation the following products were seized from one of the premises:

- 26,880 x cigarette sticks
- 19.75kg x Hand Rolling To***co
- numerous non-compliant vapes.

These had a street value in the TENS of THOUSANDS of POUNDS( £).

2 further premises were closed for supplying illicit ci******es also. Work will be done with the landlords to ensure this activity does not continue.

Illegal to***co can include counterfeit to***co products that are a "serious risk to health" as some products have been found to contain harmful elements including asbestos and other waste products.

What is illegal to***co?

* Counterfeit: these are illegally manufactured to***co products
which are often made abroad, but sometimes in the UK. They are
sold cheaply and tax free and vast profits are made throughout
the supply chain including Organised Crime Groups

* Bootlegged: these are to***co products which are purchased in a
country with a low level of taxation and illegally brought into the
UK, evading payment of tax.

* Smuggled: these are generally legitimately manufactured to***co
products which have evaded payment of tax by being illegally
transported, distributed and sold.

| ASB Diaries

If you are suffering from repeat ASB, did you know that keeping a diary sheet helps to gather evidence and record incidents over a period of time. This will help you explain the situation and allows the investigator to get up to speed quickly with the problems you have been experiencing.

You can keep a record in your way, however to ensure you gather any evidence of anti-social behaviour, diary and incident recording sheets have been prepared by Safer Derbyshire, these can be found on their website >>

| Road Safety

Today officers from the Long Eaton safer neighbourhood team have attended a safety and welfare event at Sawley Junior School to talk to parents and students about the importance of road safety.

Wearing a seat belt not only helps protect your safety, it helps protect the safety of others. Only one person is allowed in each seat fitted with a seat belt. Never use the same seat belt across two or more passengers. As a passenger over the age of 14 it's your responsibility to ensure you’re wearing a seat belt. Failure to do so could result in a fine. Children under 135cm tall or under 12 years old must be in the correct car seat for their height and weight. A driver is responsible for any passengers under the age of 14 years old. You can be fined £500 if a child under 14 years old isn't wearing a seat belt or if a child under 135cm tall or under 12 years old is not in the correct car seat.

| What is ASB?

We hear the term used often, but do you know what classes as
anti-social behaviour?

The law defines anti-social behaviour as behaviour that ‘causes,
or is likely to cause, harassment, alarm or distress to any person'.

Anti-social behaviour covers many types of behaviour, such as:

> Noise nuisance
> Criminal damage, vandalism, graffiti
> Intimidation, threats, harassment
> Litter, dog fouling, fly tipping
> Deliberate fire setting
> Nuisance vehicles
> Drunken and rowdy behaviour in a public place or drug misuse
> Hate behaviour, targeting people because of their perceived
differences.

What we take into consideration: How often the behaviour is
happening, how serious it is and how it affects the people living in
the community.

What is not ASB?

A lot of reports to us are not necessarily acts of ASB, such as:

> The sound of children playing or a baby crying
> Everyday living noises, such as toilet flushing, closing doors,
vacuuming
> Minor personal disputes and differences
> Young people gathering socially, unless they are being
intimidating
> Someone being parked outside of your home, where there are
no lawful restrictions in place
> DIY and car repairs unless they are taking place at unsocial
hours
> Civil disputes between neighbours (e.g. shared driveways)
> Religious or cultural practice

🚓 Cannabis Grow 🚓

On Friday 27th of June, officers from your local safer neighbourhood team discovered a sophisticated cannabis grow in a property on Tamworth Road, Long Eaton. There was approximately 50 plants found in the property and have all been seized as part of the investigation.

Sgt Buckland said 'This was a great example of proactive policing and teamwork all aimed at keeping yourselves safe. Cannabis grows are not harmless. They often involve unsafe electrical setups which can lead to house fires, and are frequently linked to organised crime groups, including foreign nationals exploiting vulnerable individuals. These grows can attract violent rival gangs seeking to rob them, placing your community at risk. This is why we need your help. If you notice:
- Windows constantly covered
- A strong, sweet smell
- Lights on at unusual hours
- Excessive condensation on windows
…please don’t ignore it. Let us know and you can do it in confidence and anonymously.'
