CPT Weekly Round-Up – Bank Holiday Edition ☀️
A quick round-up of all things CPT this week as we head into the Bank Holiday weekend - and for once it’s actually looking sunny… let’s hope it stays that way!
Last Sunday, PCSO Dennington headed along to the Kessingland Car Boot Sale for a street meet. The team there were incredibly welcoming, and he spoke with so many of you as you browsed for bargains. It was great to see such a fantastic turnout – we’ll definitely be back!
Our overnight patrols continue as always. The RIT team don’t always have time to grab photos, but they’re out there working hard nonetheless. This week, PC #968 Raymond spent his night shifts over in Beccles and Bungay, patrolling your areas while most of us were asleep.
On Friday, with the lovely weather, we made the most of it by patrolling our local parks as part of our anti-social behaviour and community engagement work. We even managed to grab a photo at Sparrow’s Nest when Sgt #493 Coote and Sgt #1727 Bemment got out for a walk.
Whilst on patrol, PC #822 Salazar spotted a female in a Pakefield car park in possession of nitrous oxide. While this substance was previously controlled under the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016, it was reclassified as a Class C drug in 2023, meaning possession is now illegal. The nitrous oxide was seized at the scene, and the female was dealt with at the time, opting to be interviewed on location. She has since received an out of court disposal.
Meanwhile, PCSO #3338 Hedley Lewis and the Crime Prevention Team were busy over in Beccles. Following his walk around Rigbourne Hill, St Anne’s Park and Darby Park, he headed to Beccles Primary School to meet our Crime Prevention Team for their summer fete. Thank you again for inviting us along – it was lovely to see so many of you there!
Today, the Lowestoft Volunteer Police Cadets and Crime Prevention Team are in Beccles for the Food and Drink Festival. If you’re heading down, come and say hello – you’ll find us next to St Michael’s Church!
Stay safe and enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend 🌞
