It’s been a busy and productive week for the Riverside Beat Team, with officers working across the city to keep our communities safe. Some highlights have been shared below:

🚨 Arrest & Proactive Policing

🛡️ Safeguarding
PCs Fabian, Merryn, and Jess assisted in safely locating and returning a high-risk missing young person. Officers prioritised their welfare while also addressing associated concerns within the city centre.

________________________________________
🌿 Cannabis Grow Seizure
PC Merryn, PC Callum, and PCSO Phil supported colleagues in dismantling a cannabis grow which was discovered by police on a neighbouring beat. All plants and related equipment were safely removed and destroyed, disrupting illegal activity and helping protect the local community.

________________________________________
🤝 Partnership Working
PC Fabian attended a meeting at Force Headquarters with representatives from the Leicester Royal Infirmary (LRI), where information sharing was discussed to better safeguard patients and visitors. A plan has also been developed to address concerns regarding a male regularly attending the hospital committing anti-social behaviour and crime.

PC Fabian has also been engaging with local tenants and Platform Housing regarding an individual causing concern on the beat. The individual is currently subject to bail conditions having been arrested last week, and there have been no reported incidents since his arrest.

This ongoing work highlights the importance of partnership collaboration in tackling crime and protecting vulnerable people.

👮‍♂️ Inspector’s Weekly Update – Leicester City Centre

Over the last 7 days, it’s been another busy week across the city.

The Riverside Festival really showcased Leicester at its best 🌟 bringing people together and highlighting everything great about our city. Although… it’s fair to say Saturday’s weather made things a little wetter than planned! ☔ Despite this, spirits remained high and the event was enjoyed safely by many.

We also carried out a Day of Action on New Walk & Clock tower with our partners. This included:

Engagement with local businesses
Seizures of vehicles linked to criminal activity

This type of visible partnership work is key to tackling issues that matter most to our communities.

🚫 We have also assisted with a closure order for Lee Circle Car Park, which will be in place for the next 3 months. This action has been taken to address ongoing concerns around crime and anti-social behaviour in the area and forms part of our continued work to improve safety in the city centre.

💬 We continue to want to hear from you. Your views help shape our priorities and where we focus our efforts. Please keep sharing your concerns, feedback, and ideas with us.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

🌟 Cultural Quarter Weekly Round-Up 🌟

🛥️ The beat team kicked off the week at the Riverside Festival, covering Bede Park, Castle Park, and Western Road. It was a fantastic weekend with officers engaging with stallholders and the public. The event passed without any issues, and everyone enjoyed a great atmosphere.

🚔 PS Cross and PC Stewart stopped a vehicle that drew their attention. Checks revealed the driver only held a provisional licence and already had points on it. The passenger, who was also the owner, was not insured on the vehicle, and the car was not displaying L plates.

👮 PC Carpenter and PCSO Brad, while on patrol, stopped a vehicle that raised their suspicions. Enquiries confirmed the driver was not insured. A further search of the vehicle uncovered several bottles of prescription medication in the boot that did not belong to the driver. The medication found is known to be used to enhance other drugs.

🚲 PC Proctor and PCSO Bannatyne seized an illegal e-bike. The rider attempted to evade officers by turning around but made a failed getaway attempt, falling off the bike and getting tangled in the handlebars. After officers secured the bike, the rider briefly fled before returning and attempting to run off again. Safe to say, on this occasion it wasn’t JUST EAT — it was JUST SEIZED.

👮 PCSO Brad and PC Proctor were on patrol on Granby Street when they spotted a male selling nitrous oxide canisters from his vehicle. When challenged, he ran from officers. Following a short foot chase, he was detained and arrested. A Section 18 search was authorised, leading to the discovery of Class A drugs and a quantity of cash, both of which were seized.

🚗 PC Carpenter and PCSO Brad also seized a vehicle that appeared unroadworthy and was deemed too dangerous to be driven on the road.

👮 The team have continued their work following the closure of Lee Circle car park, which had been a hotspot for anti-social behaviour. PC Stewart, working in partnership with Leicester City Council ASB team, secured a closure order through the courts. PC Stewart, PCSO Becs, and PCSO 6571 assisted alongside the council and fire service in boarding up the site.

👀 PS Cross and PC Carpenter located a prolific shoplifter who was breaching conditions prohibiting him from being on Granby Street. The male was arrested.

🚗 Shortly after leaving the station, PC Carpenter observed a vehicle driving on the wrong side of the road on Abbey Street. The driver was stopped and reported. Later, while patrolling Museum Square (an ASB hotspot), he conducted a stop search where a male was found in possession of Class B drugs and subsequently arrested.
