Another illegal bike seized 🚲 🚨

Officers have sighted this bike being driven in an antisocial and dangerous manner on New Tythe Street in Long Eaton.

These bikes are not just a nuisance when they are being ridden illegally and irresponsibly. They can cause a significant concern for residents and put pedestrians and other road users at risk.

We receive numerous complaints about this from members of the community and have been taking action when it is safe to do so.

We have been reading your comments on previous posts about why we focus on motoring offences when there are other crimes to deal with. The reality is that of course we also attend other incidents, medical emergencies and community events.

Thank you to those that continue to make reports and provide information that helps keep Long Eaton safe 🚔

What have Long Eaton SNT been up to today? 🚔

Our officers have been out and about on foot listening to residents talk about local concerns, from these conversations we have been undertaking actions to tackle the issues that residents have raised.

Here is a look into what one day on Long Eaton Safer Neighbourhood Team looks like.

12pm - Began duty with a team meeting. We discussed recent incidents, intelligence and locally identified problems.
1pm - Officers stopped a vehicle for driving through a red light on Wilsthorpe Road, checks later revealed the driver had no insurance so the car was seized as a result. The two males were also stop searched based on recent intelligence.
2:30pm - PC Stapley and PCSO Cottingham visited a local secondary school for a meeting with the safeguarding team to discuss recent matters.
4pm - All officers conducted a search alongside our partner agencies of an address following recent intelligence regarding weapons, on this occasion, nothing was located within the address.
6pm - PCSO Rodgers located a missing child in the Long Eaton area and was assisted by PC Sheldon, PC Stapley and our local response units who returned the child home.
7pm - PC Sheldon and PC Stapley conducted night-time speed checks in our hotspot speeding areas, issued tickets for two drivers who were exceeding 40mph in a 30mph zone. They also offered words of advice to other road users. One driver was found to have incorrect documentation resulting in them being uninsured for that vehicle.
8pm - A blue moped failed to stop for PC Dickinson and PCSO Cottingham in the Petersham area, which headed into Sandiacre and was driving in an antisocial and dangerous manner. After using local knowledge, the bike was located at an address in Sandiacre. This bike was notified off road and therefore being driven without insurance. The bike was seized.

Multi agency training operation 🚒 🚑 👮🏻

This week officers from Long Eaton Safer Neighbourhood Team have participated in a multi agency training operation involving multiple agencies including Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire & Leicestershire Fire Service, East Midlands Ambulance Service along with several role actors that kindly gave up their time to volunteer and role play for the the operation.

Officers joined the training operation to reflect a real life major incident, this was a great way to put joint working into practice and work along side colleagues from agencies that we don't usually see day to day.

Officers from Long Eaton Safer Neighbourhood Team thoroughly enjoyed the exercise and many learning points were taken from the operation and we look forward to future partner training operations.

| Schools Intervention

Having seen a recent increase in shopliftings from COOP, COLLEGE STREET, Safer Neighbourhood Officers have been working with the store in a effort to resolve the issue. In investigating it was found that these thefts were largely being committed by students in uniform on their way home from school who were blatantly taking items and placing them in a blazer / bag & walking out without making payment.

Positive Actions Taken:
-Increased Patrols by officers to identify offenders
-CCTV trawls completed
-Offenders who have been identified will be given community disposals for first offences
-Assembly with local school to reinforce the consequences for shoplifting
-COOP have implemented a three in three out policy to reduce the amount of youths in the store at a time

Since police involvement there have been no further incidents reported but we would still like to encourage parents to discuss the consequences of shoplifting.

Illegal bike seized 🚲 🚨

Whilst on mobile patrol, officers from Long Eaton SNT have sighted an illegal e-bike being driven by a male in a balaclava in Sawley which was riding at speed.

Officers conducted an area search and saw the rider sat on the "surron" style bike waiting in an open space.

Officers were able to approach the rider, who tried to accelerate away but it was too late and was swiftly tackled to the ground. The rider was found to have no licence and was also driving without valid third party insurance. The rider and a passenger were both also detained for stop searches however nothing was found.

In Long Eaton, we are receiving reports daily of illegal bikes being driven dangerously on roads and in public parks. Officers have been taking positive action by conducting plain clothes and high visibility patrols where numerous bikes and e-scooters have been seized.

🚨 VEHICLE SEIZED 🚨

Today officers have attended Devonshire Avenue in Long Eaton after reports of a vehicle being abandoned causing major obstruction to the pavement.

This vehicle had been left for around a week and also showing an expired MOT.

Abandoned vehicles can cause a nuisance by obstructing roads, traffic and pedestrians. The sight of a damaged or slowly rusting vehicle can also be an eyesore in your community.

Please be mindful and keep our roads and pavements clear of obstructions for everyone to access safely.
