St. George, Abington and Phippsville

Drug dealing and drug misuse

• We have executed one warrant in the area relating to Class A drug supply, and we have also dismantled three cannabis grows.
• We continue to work closely with Northampton Partnership Homes to secure areas where drug dealing concerns have been raised in communal areas and alleyways. This work has included fitting railings, cutting back trees and shrubbery, and we will continue this work moving forward in the community.

Road safety and road traffic offences

• We continue to carry out proactive patrols and enforcement activity across the area, issuing tickets to target road traffic and road safety offences including driving with no insurance, driving without a seatbelt, and having no MOT.
• We have carried out a targeted operation around vehicle crime, focusing on identifying insecure vehicles or those displaying valuables in key hotspots. During the five days of action, 87 vehicles were identified and the owners were contacted to offer crime prevention advice.
• We have also seized 10 vehicles and e-bikes for having no insurance.

Burglary

• Neighbourhood officers continue to support specialist burglary investigators by carrying out house-to-house enquiries, conducting leaflet drops and providing crime prevention advice to residents and businesses.

The new priorities for this period (October 2026 to March 2027) are:
• Drug dealing and drug misuse
• Road safety and road traffic offences
• Anti-social motorcycle nuisance

Our priorities are set for a six month period and reviewed every three months to ensure we continue to deal with what matters most to local people, taking account of feedback shared in our local priorities survey and local crime data.
