Anti-Social Behaviour, Cross Hills Main Street.

Due to the increase in bars, there were more reports of drinking on the street and associated anti-social behaviour.

Through regular high visibility patrols and engagement with local licensees the area now remains safer.

Cross-border crime

Previously there have been burglaries of sheds, garages and outbuildings at residential properties across the Craven District, particularly near our borders of West Yorkshire, Lancashire and Cumbria. Farming equipment, tools, vehicles, motorbikes and pedal cycles, including e-bikes are being targeted.

These offences have greatly reduced, but still occasionally happen.

We are still focusing our attention on the area providing high visibility and plain clothed patrols, offering crime prevention advice such as, ensuring properties and vehicle are secure - PLEASE LOCK YOUR DOORS - feel free to contact us for prevention advice, or a visit to look at your security arrangements.

OP LIMIT - World Cup Drink and Drug Driving

Throughout the World Cup period there will continue to be operations and pro-active stopping of vehicles to tackle drink and drug driving. There have been several arrests and drivers reported for vehicle offences so far.

Anti-social use of E- Bikes.

There has been a national and local increase in concern around anti-social use of E- Bikes and their associated safety and criminal issues.

Through high visibility patrols and intelligence work our Public Safety Teams have seized two illegal E-bikes. Through education at schools we are hoping to reduce their purchase and misuse.
