Dereham

We work with the community and local partners, as well as looking at our own data to come up with the priority that we will have for Dereham for the next three months:
Tackling youth and vehicle related anti-social behaviour
Tackling rural and acquisitive crime

We've been continuing to tackle anti-social behaviour in the town centre in particular. A Criminal Behaviour Order has been issued to one man banning him from Dereham for two years after persistent issues.
We carry out regular patrols around the Market Place, Nelson Place and Church Street - especially at school times and in the evenings.
We know there are still concerns and would encourage people to keep reporting in to us when things happen. We are part of the town's new Task Force and appreciate any information and intelligence we can gather from the public.
A man has been charged with five incidents of retail theft in the town. He is due at court in July.
Officers supported a Trading Standards visit to a shop and a man was arrested on suspicion of 'being concerned in the supply' of drugs. He has been bailed for further enquiries.

Tackling rural crime and antisocial behaviour across Dereham

In Dereham we’ve seen a lot of work tackling the street drinking and associated ASB – we’ve been enforcing the PSPO along with the street wardens.
We still need people to keep reporting any incidents to us – we cannot always attend immediately but the more information we have the more we can deal with it in the long term.
We are continuing to attend the regular Dereham task force meetings.
We are also tackling retail theft and have seen some good results at court recently including a prolific thief banned from the town.
