Thetford

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 Thetford for the next three months:
Tackling youth and vehicle related anti-social behaviour
Tackling rural and acquisitive crime

Another busy few weeks with more visits to shops suspected of selling illicit tobacco and illegal vapes.
Two vehicles seized for no licence or insurance in Thetford in the past fortnight including an illegal e-scooter and an off-road motorbike. We’re launching an operation to tackle the anti-social and/or illegal use of motorbikes, quads and illegally-modified bikes across Thetford. Do please keep reporting these incidents to us – on 999 if someone is in immediate danger, on 101 if it is not an emergency or via this website if it is after the event.
A section 59 was given for anti-social riding of a motorbike in the forest.
Several arrests for CBO breaches, shoplifting and bail breaches.

Tackling rural crime and antisocial behaviour across Thetford

It’s been a busy few weeks for officers in Thetford. We are very aware of recent on-going community tensions and would urge anyone who is concerned to get in touch with us directly.
Aside from that, we’ve also had a seizure of two bikes and two cars under s.59 after being ridden in an anti-social manner.
Regular patrols of the PSPO area have led to some breaches of the street drinking rules. Work is on-going to apply for criminal behaviour orders for specific individuals.
There have been several days of action with partners including Trading Standards to deal with illicit tobacco and vape products.
A vape shop has been closed down for three months after extensive work to obtain a closure order from the courts.
Our CPT have also been out on patrol visiting shops and businesses across the town to listen to issues around ASB and retail theft.
