Crime information

Feedback to the Parish Council from the local Police and Neighbourhood Safety Officer

“We located a cannabis farm on High Gill road Saturday morning. One male was arrested at the scene and investigations are ongoing. We’ve had an increase in criminal damage where one or two properties have been targeted. One male youth has been arrested on suspicion of causing the damage and again investigations are ongoing.
We hope the swift positive action has lead to an immediate reduction in these offences.”


“The only ASB cases reported have been the ongoing issues around the alleyways at Rookwood. We are working with Nunthorpe Academy regarding this – identification of youths and school have said they will have a teacher in the area as school ends.

“On a more positive note I [the Neighbourhood Safety Officer] carried out an evening patrol around the area on Friday 17 June with a youth outreach worker.  We engaged with 21 young people, all said they attended Nunthorpe Academy.  They were all very polite and respectful and we chatted about the lack of facilities for young people in the area and the perception people have of them via local social media pages.  They were keen to meet with councillors and many give me their names.  I passed this information onto Nunthorpe Academy and both councillors and was hoping school would take this forward and arrange for the councillors to visit school and speak to those who said they were happy to be involved.  I’ve not heard if they have organised anything yet but thought this would have been a great opportunity to try and engage with young people from the area.”

We are grateful for this local feedback.
