Weekly update from the Low Hill, Bushbury North/South and Fallings Park neighbourhood policing team

Good afternoon Resident

Here’s a quick round up from myself and the rest of the neighbourhood policing team. This week has been a busy week for the local policing neighbourhood team. PCSO’s and PC’s have provided community reassurance, engaging and speaking to local residents. Officers have also continued to conduct hi-visibility patrols around the neighbourhood. PCSO’s have conducted foot patrols in the neighbourhood, and are looking to attend community centres as they have recently re-opened for the new year.

Numerous weapon sweeps have taken place by local PCSO and PC’s and general patrols have continued to take place in ASB hot spot areas.

What’s been happening.

Burglaries

Across the 3 neighbourhoods we cover, there has been x1 residential burglary since 01/01/2025.

This burglary occurred in Akron Drive, WV106EQ.

Although this is still low across such a large area this does not mean we should stop doing the basic checks such as locking the doors and making sure all windows are secured.

Lock up, protect your home.

✔️ Keep your doors and windows locked whether you’re in or out.

✔️If you have an alarm make sure you use it

✔️Remove keys from locks and keep out of reach from windows or doors

We always recommend reporting via the appropriate channels 999 in an emergency or 101/ live-chat to ensure preventative work can be conducted by your neighbourhood team.
