North Feltham ward in this period have concentrated on Alcohol related crime, ASB, drug
crime and continued to work on burglary linked to Cold Calling.

Alcohol Related Crime

North Feltham ward have led the Borough in this period working to combat the sale of alcohol
to underage people, and therefore reduce the incidence of alcohol related crime that is
committed by young people and to prevent them becoming the victims of crime as when
drunk they become more vulnerable. To achieve this the North Feltham SN team carried out
41 test purchase operations on the borough and I am please to say only had cause to issue 5
fixed penalty notices as the majority of Off Licenses refused to serve.

ASB
The North Feltham ward staff have worked hard to combat ASB in Feltham, carrying out extra
patrols at the weekends and late at night to support the Feltham Centre dispersal zone and as
a result have had the first conviction on the borough of a youth who refused to comply with a
Constables direction.

During the course of the ASB patrols the team-identified intelligence indicating an upcoming
gang fight and as a result of this intelligence Policing measures were put in place that
prevented the fight ad a possible fatality.

Drug Supply
As mentioned above the Team assisted with the successful warrant at Carlton House.
They also carried out a follow up warrant on the Best One Store at Bedfont Lane, after the
warrant at Harlington Road Best One. This led to a further 3 arrests for fraud related offences,
most recently they attended Hackney to arrest a male for attempted fraud at the West London
Suzuki in Bedfont.

Other matters
The team has worked on operation Liberal to target cold callers with DSS and LBH officers,
as part of this partnership PS Sinclair assisted a team of auditors who visited LBH Fraud
officers and as a result the Council Fraud dept has been put forward for an award. Vehicle
seizures for no insurance by the team have now reached 95 with 15 attached arrests.
