Weymouth and Portland NPT have been aware of a female causing problems for the community of Chickerell over the last few weeks.

Today members of the neighbourhood team arrested a 59 year female local to the Chickerell area for offences of: Misusing the 999 system, Racially aggravated Public Order, Harassment and Assault.

She is currently in custody.

Persons who cause ongoing ASB in our community will always be dealt with by our team, whilst working with other agencies to give support where needed.

Yesterday PC Arnold and PC Golder were on our daily Good Safe Summer patrols in the town centre. Despite the threatening clouds and having a quick dash for cover at one point we had a good day patrolling, engaging with members of public and local businesses. Towards the end of the day we assisted our CSAS (Council Community Safety) colleagues who had detained a shoplifter with a number of stolen goods from several stores in town. She was also responsible for shoplifting in Chickerell last week which we referred to in our previous post, doesn't look like she's getting the point. Despite her complaints that we were being unfair, she was arrested. She has now been charged and has conditions not to enter the town, as well as the stores in Chickerell last week.

Weymouth and Portland NPT late turn officers have been on patrols this evening in the town centre.

At the start of the shift, officers were made aware of three young adults who had stolen alcohol from Tesco, St Thomas Street. They were quickly detained, and the alcohol recovered without even being opened! Parents have been made aware, and they will be interviewed at a later date.

Later in the shift we sighted a male, who had the better of us two days ago. On that occasion, he had given his brothers details, which showed nothing of note. A little bit of research showed that the person we had actually stopped had was wanted on a recall to prison.... Today he wasn't so lucky when we spotted him again near Swannary Bridge. Back off to prison.

APPEAL | We are investigating a report of a robbery in Weymouth and are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.

It was reported that at around 12.45am on Friday 5 June 2026 a man aged in his 20s was approached by a man and woman on Westham Bridge and assaulted, threatened and had £10 in cash stolen.

The victim was checked over by the ambulance service but is not believed to have sustained any serious injuries.

The man involved is described as white, of slim build with grey hair and a beard and was wearing a blue and black tracksuit.

The woman is described as white and of large build.

Police Constable Mike Golder, of Weymouth and Portland Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT), said: “We are investigating this incident and from our enquiries we believe there were a number of people present in the area of Westham Bridge at the time of the reported robbery.

“I would urge any witnesses or anyone with information that might assist our investigation to please contact us.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Dorset Police online or by calling 101, quoting occurrence number 55260083137. Alternatively, independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously online using its website or by calling Freephone 0800 555 111.

Weymouth and Portland Officers have been patrolling today in Weymouth Town Centre, as a part of our operation.

We have identified hotspots around Weymouth, which we believe could benefit from extra foot patrols.

One of those areas is Brunswick Terrace, off The Esplanade.

Over summer this, and other hotspots will see increased high visibility patrols from our team, every day.

Tonight our team searched and seized alcohol off two males who had shoplifted. The team removed two youths from the town centre who had tried to steal from a store. Later in the shift they moved on a drunk female causing ASB from Westham Road.

We will be back on patrol again tomorrow.

Officers have continued with our Good Safe Summer patrols over this weekend. As part of the Neighbourhood Guarantee we are focussing our attention on shoplifting as we recognise the impact this has on businesses and the wider impact that this can have on anti-social behaviour, especially where those involved are trying to take alcohol.

On Saturday two individuals were located in Chickerell following complaints of persons shoplifting from the Co-Op and Aldi. They were found in possession of a number of stolen goods, arrested and have subsequently been charged for these offences.....we allowed them to keep their one tin of soup they had paid for.

Then this afternoon we dealt with an incident in the town centre following two females who have entered a store and attempted to leave with a quantity of alcohol but were stopped and challenged by staff. This stemmed from an incident a week ago where one of the females had left with some alcohol that she stole. We know who these individuals are and will be paying them a visit fairly soon.

Our ongoing plea to local businesses is to please continue reporting these offences to us, we will take action regardless of the value that has been stolen, this will deter further offending and wider anti-social behaviour in the town.

APPEAL | We are appealing for anyone with information and a male witness to come forward who was involved in a verbal altercation in Weymouth.

During the early hours of Sunday 31 May 2026, it is reported that a woman aged in her 20s was assaulted with a glass bottle by a man who is known to her at an address in the town.

The victim sustained injuries that are not believed to be serious.

A 22-year-old man from Bournemouth has been arrested on suspicion of causing wounding with intent, making threats to kill and engaging in controlling or coercive behaviour. He remains in police custody at this time.

Following enquiries, it was established that the arrested man and victim were believed to be involved in an altercation at the Esso garage in King Street at around 11.40pm on Saturday 30 May 2026.

Detective Constable Holly Hetherington, of Dorset County CID, said: “We understand a man wearing a white T-shirt with a beard spoke to the victim at the Esso garage. We would ask him to please come forward as a witness as we believe he may have vital information to help our investigation.

“I am also appealing to anyone who was in the garage at the time and may have seen what happened to please get in touch.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Dorset Police online or by calling 101, quoting occurrence number 55260079848. Alternatively, independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously online using its website or by calling Freephone 0800 555 111

Our Early turn Weymouth and Portland NPT officers have been on patrol in the town today.

Whilst on patrol our officers located a missing person from the Christchurch area.

They also were seized a knife that was located near to the seafront. Enquires continue as to how it got there...

They then when to a concern for welfare of a male near ASDA lights. A combination of alcohol and sunshine, had slowed his walk home considerably. He was helped up on his way home safely.

Many thanks to the kind lady who gave us a much needed ice cream on The esplanade.

Our late turn officers will be out keeping everyone safe this evening.
