As shown above the total number of crimes for June have dropped by 12 from May. This covers all crimes reported to Police for that month in the area of Chellaston and Shelton Lock.
As the figures show the 'theft of vehicle' figure has halved from 4 to 2 incidents. 'Theft from vehicle' has also halved down to a total of 4 in June. We are still carrying out a number of enquiries to identify offenders and plain clothes operations continue to be used. As always please think about security when leaving your vehicle - remove any valuable items or at least put them out of view, remove stereo fascias, remove any evidence that a 'Sat Nav' has been used including windscreen mount, park in well lit areas and always secure your vehicle. One initiative the section are currently employing is 'Peekaboo' to try and combat this. If an officer sees a vehicle where valuable items have been left on display, such as sat nav systems, then the details are taken down and a letter sent out to the registered keeper. This aims to highlight that this is an easier target for criminals and leaving them more open to being a victim of crime. Another method whereby vehicles have been taken is by entering insecure doors at an address and taking car keys from inside. Even when at your address always keep doors locked.
'Burglary dwelling' has also halved from 6 down to 3. 'Burglary other' however has risen from 3 to 6 incidents - this covers things such as sheds and detached garages. Each case is investigated thoroughly and a number of enquiries are still ongoing. If you are concerned about security at your property then please get in touch on 0345 123 33 33 - we can then arrange for a Crime Prevention Officer to visit your address and conduct a survey free of charge.
The figure for 'Assault' has increased by 1. The majority of these involve youths on other youths rather than any other member of the public. 'Robbery' has also halved reducing from 4 to 2. We are still carrying out uniformed and plain clothed patrols around the area to deter this activity - especially along the canal path. This operation has been ongoing for several months now covering areas from Chellaston to Alvaston involving numerous officers. In addition if you wish to have your bike engraved with your postcode and house number in order to aid recovery if stolen then found please get in touch with the Safer Neighbourhood Team via 0345 123 3333. Criminal damage and arson has increased from 12 to 17. Criminal damage is unfortunately a very easy offence to commit and covers such things as scratches to cars, broken windows on houses etc. It is nonetheless an offence which could lead to arrest and a criminal record. If you have any information regarding this or any other crime please contact us. Additionally if you witness anything suspicious please also contact Police on 0345 123 33 33 or in case of emergency 999. If you wish to remain anonymous when providing information then please contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Unfortunately the figure for ASB is not available at present for June. However there has been a reduction in calls from April to May from 118 to 103 (the figure for June shall be released next month due to the way the data is collated). The large majority of these are related to the same 2/3 locations which are reflected in the priorities below. We are still patrolling the main priority areas whenever possible but urge people to contact us should they have any issues in their area. The majority of these calls are for the same few locations. We are also currently in the process of obtaining ASBO's for two youths in the area - this is still ongoing and in the court process.
Priorities and Forums:
The Safer Neighbourhood Team also has three 'Priority Areas' that we work on to solve a specific issue. We work alongside other agencies such as the Council, Community Safety Partnership, Derby Homes, Anti-social Behaviour Team, Councillors to try and achieve a solution.
Our current priorities are:
Underage drinking/damage/ASB on Station Road/High Street area
Damage/ASB Alonso Close/Parkway
Problem parking Maple Drive/School Lane
These are identified at the forum meetings. The dates for these are published on the Police external website.
In relation to the above priority there is going to be an enforcement campaign involving the SNT and Parking Enforcement Officers in this area over the coming months. Parking has long been a problem at school start and finish time and tickets shall be issued to anybody obstructing a driveway/on keep clear areas etc. This is for the safety of the children and parents and we encourage support from the parents with this and ask that they be considerate with parking.
Should you wish to discuss anything with the Safer Neighbourhood Team or have any issues please contact us via 0345 123 33 33.
Surgeries:
Police surgeries are now being held at the new library in Chellaston. These are an opportunity for residents to come and talk to the Police on a one to one basis about any problems that they have in the area. These are informal and are held from 1800-2000hrs on the below dates:
Latest Scams:
Fake Switchover Company
A company called
'The Digital Switchover Group' are attending addresses and
providing a pink leaflet. They also state that they are
working on behalf of the Government. They claim that
homeowners would not be able to get digital TV without extra
equipment (Digital UK have confirmed that none of these
details are correct and Freeview would be available for many
years)
The scam is being used in an effort to sell unnecessary
satellites and aerials but may also be used as a method of
gaining access to properties.
Digital UK have provided the website address of
www.paras.org.uk
(Professional Aerial Riggers Against The Sharks) which has
been set up for anyone that would like further information
about the digital switchover.
If you have any information please contact Operation Liberal
on 0345 123 3333
If you have any information relating to incidents or crimes,
please call 0345 123 33 33.
In an emergency call 999. Call Crimestoppers anonymously on
0800 555 111 with information about crime.

Two Police Community Support
Officers have been appointed to assist the PCs in their work.
What exactly is a PCSO?
PCSOs support the work of the local police force and provide a visible and reassuring presence on the streets. It is a paid role, although they don't have the same powers as a regular officer.
Police Community Support
Officers particularly work to reassure the public and to tackle the
social menace of anti-social behaviour.
Working under the direction of a police commander, they fight a range of crime and disorder problems. Just some of the problems they might have to deal with include:
PCSOs spend much of their time on patrol in communities and you should approach them with any questions or worries you have about anti-social behaviour or crime in your area.
