Recently PC Gibbons visited the Great Barton Squirrels at the Scout hut to do an input with them. The session involved how to call for police, an introduction to the personal protective equipment did and of course a good look around the police vehicle. The squirrels had a great time looking around the vehicle and we managed to drive away with no damage to the vehicle!

We have found a number of nuts, seeds and berries buried in the vehicle though.

What a busy summer it has been! Thank you to everyone who came along and engaged with us over the past few months. We were out and about at a variety of local events, including the Horse Spectacular, the stunning Rougham Sunflower Field, and the Junior Park Run, where stickers proved just as popular with the adults as they were with the children! We also organised several Street Meets across the area, providing a chance for residents to speak with us directly, ask questions, share concerns, and get to know their local policing team, all alongside our regular town centre patrols.

🚔 Town Centre Team West: A Busy Few Days at Work...

While most people were enjoying the first week of September, our officers were busy dealing with everything from drug supply to driving offences and safeguarding investigations.

📅 Tuesday 1 September

✅ A female was arrested on suspicion of modern slavery offences following an investigation linked to the running of a brothel in Bury St Edmunds.

📅 Wednesday 2 September

📦 A parcel travelling a little too far from home was intercepted after arriving from California. Inside was a significant quantity of cannabis, which won't be reaching its intended destination.

🚗 Officers in Newmarket stopped a vehicle being driven without insurance. Further checks revealed the driver was also disqualified from driving.

Unfortunately for the driver, things didn't improve from there.

Whilst speaking with officers, the male attempted to dispose of suspected Class A drugs in a nearby bin. A roadside drugs wipe then returned a positive result for co***ne.

The male was arrested for: • Drug driving • Possession of Class A drugs • Driving without insurance • Driving whilst disqualified

The vehicle was also seized and taken off the road.

🌿 A further stop and search was carried out after officers witnessed what appeared to be a drug deal. A male was found in possession of cannabis.

📅 Thursday 3 September

🏠 Officers executed a court-issued warrant at an address in Stowmarket as part of an investigation into suspected drug supply. During the search, Class A drugs were located and seized.

👮 Across three days, officers have: ✅ Arrested suspects ✅ Seized drugs ✅ Removed an uninsured vehicle from the road ✅ Disrupted suspected drug supply ✅ Continued safeguarding vulnerable people

Not every package is worth signing for, not every driving ban is optional, and not every bin is a good hiding place.

If you have information about drug dealing, exploitation or criminal activity in your area, please report it via 101 or online. In an emergency, always call 999.
