    Action taken:

  • Priority:

    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

    Issued 01 May 2026

    Action taken:

    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.

    Actioned 27 July 2026

  • Priority:

    We work with the community and local partners, as well as looking at our own data to come up with priorities that we will have for Dereham for the next three months:
    Tackling rural crime and antisocial behaviour across Dereham

    Issued 01 August 2026

    Action taken:

    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.
    A car was seized on Yaxham Road on 14 Sept after being involved in vehicle ASB for the second time.

    Actioned 17 September 2026
