Police step up action in Helston after reports of increasing antisocial behaviour
Concerns have been raised about speeding drivers, people smoking suspected cannabis and graffiti
Police have stepped action in Helston after reports of increasing antisocial behaviour (ASB).
Officers have been carrying out both foot and vehicle patrols in places where ASB has been reported, including areas around Deer Park, Sika Drive and Fallow Road.
Police have also visited local schools in the area, carrying out presentations aimed at educating and deterring young people from becoming involved in ASB offences.
PS Chris Vincent said: “Whilst the number of incidents reported to us remain low in these areas, we understand that ASB remains a concern for members of our community.”
“The incidents we are investigating involve information about drivers racing their vehicles, individuals spotted smoking suspected cannabis and one report of graffiti.”
Commenting on the importance of reporting, PS Vincent added: “To help us help you, we really need you to report any ASB you see. If you don’t tell us, we can’t do anything about it.
“Reporting is simple – you can do it our website, by calling 101, or chatting to an officer about it when you see them. If you’ve put information on social media, please don’t assume we’ll see this – always use the official channels to report.
“What you tell us is key in helping plan our patrols so that we have the best chance of identifying and deterring offenders. Thank you.”
