Tackling rural crime and antisocial behaviour across ThetfordAction taken:
It’s been a busy few weeks for officers in Thetford. We are very aware of 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 a bike and a car under s.59 after being ridden in an ASB manner.
There was also an arrest for a young man for an ABH (and subsequent assault police) after a youth related fight in Thetford town centre and arrest off a male that was outstanding for an assault of Tesco security staff, who we happened across while out on foot beat.
