The Police newsletter for May 2012 can be found here - it contains all the latest crime figures and details for the month of April.

April has seen a reduction in the number of reported burglaries across Glenfield which is two months in succession. Of the 4 reported incidents 2 of them have positive links that they have been committed by the same suspects. A person has been arrested and is on bail pending further evidence.

Burglary other than dwellings have unfortunately increased, however the majority of these were shed breaks on the Elm Tree Avenue estate. The items taken include cycles and lawn mowers.
There were three reports of theft of motorcycles this month; reports were from Loxley Road, Liberty Road and Tournament Road. A person has been arrested and charged with the theft of one of the bikes and they have received an adult caution and reported for driving offences. The Beat Team in association with the Glenfield Police Volunteers are targeting houses with motorbikes and will be highlighting the dangers of leaving them visible from the road in order to try and reduce the number of incidents.
The high assault figures stem from domestic related incidents that have taken place. These have resulted in positive action (arrest) being taken on each occasion.

Targeted patrols have been put in place around reducing the amount of damage being committed and it seems to have significantly helped with a reduction month on month.

For several months now the Beat Team have been using Twitter to update residents about real time incidents in Glenfield, such as reported crime, arrests, traffic updates and regular reminders of police related events. You can access and follow them through their username @GlenfieldPolice. The beat team also hold regular sessions of "meet and greet", the next dates are:

26 May 10:00 - 11:00 Saturday (Co-Op)

19 June 16:00 - 17:00 Tuesday (Library)
