Another Day of Action in Weston Town Centre

Yesterday, officers from the Weston Town Centre Neighbourhood Policing Team, supported by colleagues from North Somerset Community Response and our CCTV operators, were once again out working to keep Weston a safe and welcoming place for everyone.

Through proactive patrols and targeted activity focused on tackling anti-social behaviour and criminality, officers achieved the following results:

✅ 1 male prolific offender arrested for breaching court bail conditions within days of being released from prison
✅ 1 female prolific shoplifter arrested on two fail-to-appear warrants
✅ 1 male reported for seven breaches of his Community Protection Notice
✅ 6 e-scooters seized
✅ 1 person reported for multiple traffic offences

And before the keyboard mechanics fire up in the comments section, we'll save you the trouble: yes, riding privately-owned e-scooters in public places remains illegal. That's the rule, and we're just enforcing it.

While these may seem like small actions individually, they all contribute to making Weston town centre a safer environment for residents, visitors and businesses. Our officers will continue to work alongside partner agencies to tackle those who negatively impact our community and to ensure the town remains a place where people can live, work and visit with confidence.

Thank you to everyone who continues to report concerns and support our efforts. If you see us out and about, don't hesitate to stop and say hello... preferably not whilst riding an e-scooter.

⚽ Madness in Added Time for the Town

The Town Centre Team thought the final whistle was looming after building a comfortable 3-0 lead through a recall-to-prison arrest, a wanted person for bail breaches, and a public order arrest.
But football is a funny game, and there was still time for some late drama.

Whilst dealing with the earlier arrests, Town Centre Team officers were flagged down by concerned witnesses reporting a robbery on Oxford Street. It was alleged that two adults had assaulted a 14-year-old boy and stolen personal items from him.

The officers quickly switched from game management to all-out attack. Following enquiries, two further individuals were arrested on suspicion of robbery and taken into custody.
Two goals deep into added time.

A special mention goes to PC 3530 Alex Rees, making his Town Centre Team debut. Some players wait years for a result like this. Alex managed it in his first outing. One for the history books.
5-0. Full-time.

Final Score:
⚽ Recall to Prison
⚽ Wanted for Bail Breach
⚽ Public Order Arrest
⚽ Arrest on Suspicion of Robbery
⚽ Arrest on Suspicion of Robbery
🏆 Town Centre Team 5 - 0 Chaos FC 🏆

The referee has blown for full time, the points are secured, and the Town Centre Team head into the next fixture with confidence, momentum, and a very busy custody block. 🚔⚽

⚽ Early Morning Hat-Trick for Weston’s Town Centre Team

With hope, anticipation and a few pre-match nerves, the Skipper deployed his squad to the Italian Gardens in search of a prolific offender wanted on recall to prison.

Having been out of custody for less than 72 hours, Probation had already decided they'd seen enough and authorised his return to HMP. The target was located and approached in a tactical formation that would have made Weston-super-Mare AFC Seagull Army proud! The arrest was completed without issue.

Unfortunately for his mate, checks revealed he was also wanted for breaching court-imposed bail conditions.

2-0. Game on.

As officers escorted the first prisoner to a waiting police vehicle on Waterloo Street, a member of the public decided to provide some colourful feedback about the local policing team. Whilst everyone is entitled to their opinion, screaming abuse and swearing in the middle of the street, loudly enough to disturb those going about their day, isn't the recommended complaints procedure.

We appreciate policing can be a bit Marmite, but when your behaviour starts affecting everyone else, expect a different response.

The result? A public order arrest.

3-0. Hat-trick secured. Full-time whistle.

The Town Centre Team march into the next fixture full of confidence and ready for whatever the opposition throws at them. 🏆🚔

Final Score:

Recall to Prison ⚽
Wanted for Bail Breach ⚽
Public Order Arrest ⚽

Town Centre Team 3 - 0 Chaos FC 🎉
