You Said We Did!

🚗 "Parked up and forgotten about" isn't a valid parking permit...

Officers have seized another abandoned vehicle in Ravenstone after discovering it had no Tax and no MOT. Safe to say its next journey won't be under its own steam!

Thank you to the community for continuing to report concerns to us.

🚛 HGV Patrol in Ellistown Following Local Concerns 🚛

Following concerns raised by members of our community, the issue of HGVs breaching the weight restriction in Ellistown remains one of our local beat priorities. As a result, officers carried out a dedicated patrol in the area this evening.

During the operation, we spoke with the drivers of three HGVs. One driver was found to be breaching the weight restriction without a valid exemption and was subsequently issued with a Traffic Offence Report (TOR).

You may also see the HGV pictured below in the area this evening. We spoke with the drivers and can confirm they are exempt from the restriction as they are carrying out drainage clearance works on behalf of the Council.

✅ 3 HGVs stopped and spoken to
✅ 2 vehicles confirmed as exempt
❌ 1 driver reported for breaching the weight restriction

We value our community and take your concerns seriously. We will continue to monitor the area and take appropriate action where offences are identified.

If you witness HGVs breaching the weight restriction in Ellistown, please let us know by reporting it via our website or by calling 101. Your information helps us target our patrols and address the issues that matter most to local residents.

🚨 Hare Coursing Season - Be Vigilant and Report It 🚨

As we move into the autumn and winter months, we often see an increase in reports of hare coursing across our rural communities.

Hare coursing is an illegal activity where dogs are used to chase, catch or kill hares, causing significant distress to wildlife, damage to crops and farmland, and often resulting in intimidation of landowners and local residents.

👀 Please be on the lookout for:
- Vehicles parked in gateways, farm tracks or field entrances
- Groups of people with lurcher-type dogs in rural areas
- Vehicles driving across fields or off public roads
- Unfamiliar 4x4s, vans or cars gathering in isolated countryside locations
- Suspicious activity involving dogs chasing wildlife.

If you witness hare coursing or suspicious activity:
Call 999 if it is happening at the time and a crime is in progress.
Report non-emergency information via 101 or through our online reporting system.
If safe to do so, note vehicle registrations, descriptions of those involved and the location.

Your information can make a real difference in helping us tackle rural crime and protect our countryside, wildlife and farming communities.

✅ Please share this post to help raise awareness and support our efforts to combat hare coursing.

We have been made aware of reports of individuals knocking on doors in the Measham area asking to buy gold and silver jewellery.

Please remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. Do not allow unknown callers into your property, and never feel pressured into selling valuables at your doorstep.

⭐ Safety Advice⭐

Keep your front door locked, even when you are at home.
Use a door chain or spy hole if you have one.
Do not let anyone into your home unless you know them or have arranged a visit.
Ask for identification and verify it independently if someone claims to represent a business or organisation.
Do not hand over cash, jewellery, or other valuables to callers at your door.
If you feel threatened or believe a crime is in progress, call 999 immediately.

If you see any suspicious individuals or vehicles in the area, please report them to the police, noting descriptions and vehicle registration numbers where safe to do so.

Remember: Genuine traders and buyers will not pressure you into making immediate decisions on your doorstep. If in doubt, keep them out.

Mike on a Bike 🏍️

I'm pleased to say that a stolen motorcycle from Castle Donington has been recovered and returned to its owner.

Not only has he got his pride and joy back, but we've also been able to provide him with a brand-new ground anchor completely free of charge to help keep it secure in the future.

Unfortunately, that's the last ground anchor I currently have available, but when more arrive, I plan to hand out as many as possible to local bikers. As I've always said, I'm a biker myself and tackling motorcycle theft remains something I'm passionate about, alongside the many other issues I'm responsible for.

While on the subject of bikes, I also met up this afternoon with one of our biggest biker supporters, who is always willing to help us tackle motorcycle theft and raise awareness within the biking community.

He also runs a fantastic page, Motorbike Adventures UK, so be sure to check it out. That's my shameless plug for the day done, it was great to finally meet you Dave! 😄

Ride safe out there, folks, and remember: lock it, anchor it, and protect it.
