Your opportunity to shape local policing priorities - share your views today

Please tell us how you feel about policing and your safety in Normacot, Lightwood, Longton area.   We are running a survey to understand how people in Shelton feel about policing and the services available to residents and businesses in the area. This information is crucial in helping us to work together with Stoke-on-Trent City Council and wider partners to deliver on the needs of the local people we proudly serve every day.    If you can help inform us on the ways we can tackle crime and other concerns in your area, you can complete the survey using the QR Code.   Thank you.

We are currently carrying out Operation Reclaim, an initiative aimed at tackling the nuisance, anti-social behaviour and criminality associated with off-road bikes being ridden in our local communities.

We are aware that off-road bikes have recently been seen in south of Stoke on Trent, and we are asking local residents to help us build a clearer picture of what is happening.

WE NEED YOUR INFORMATION

You may have seen or heard off-road bikes being ridden in the area, or you may know where bikes are being stored.

Even information that may seem minor could help us identify those responsible and take appropriate action.

We would particularly like to hear from you if you have information about:

● Dates and times when bikes have been seen.

● Exact locations where bikes are being ridden or causing nuisance.

● Descriptions of the bikes, including colour, make, model, registration number, stickers or distinctive markings.

● Descriptions of the riders, including clothing, helmets or other identifying features.

● Locations where bikes may be stored, such as garages, sheds, properties, fields or other premises.

● CCTV, doorbell footage, photographs or mobile phone footage showing the bikes or riders.

● Any patterns of activity, such as days, times or locations where bikes regularly appear.

YOUR INFORMATION COULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE

The information provided by residents can help us to establish patterns of behaviour, identify individuals involved and locate where bikes are being kept.

Please do not put yourself at risk or approach, challenge or confront anyone riding an off-road bike.

If you have CCTV or doorbell footage, please do not delete it. Make a note of the date and time and contact us so we can discuss the footage with you.

YOUR DETAILS WILL REMAIN ANONYMOUS

We understand that residents may be concerned about providing information.

Your information will be treated sensitively, and you can provide information anonymously.

You do not need to give your name or confront anyone yourself.

If you have any information, CCTV, photographs or footage that could assist with Operation Reclaim, please contact:   

PCSO Daniel – daniel.eggleton@staffordshire.police.uk

When contacting us, please provide as much detail as possible, particularly:

DATE • TIME • LOCATION • BIKE DESCRIPTION • RIDER DESCRIPTION • STORAGE LOCATION • CCTV/FOOTAGE

Together, we can make our communities safer.
