Irchester

The new priorities for this period (April to September) are:
Burglary
Drug dealing and misuse
Vehicle crime

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.

Drug dealing and Drug misuse

You Said, We Did - October 2024 to March 2025
•There have been 97 drug related incidents recorded – 67 for drug possession and 30 in relation to drug trafficking
•14 people have been charged, 26 have received community resolutions and five have received cautions
•In March 2025, an officer discovered a possession with intent offence which led to a further suspect being located and hundreds of wraps of a Class A substance, valued at thousands of pounds, being seized. This was a new drug line that was being introduced to Wellingborough

Road Safety & Traffic Matters

You Said We Did - October 2024 to March 2025
•The Neighbourhood team have issued 45 traffic tickets for various offences, including careless driving and no insurance
•Speed gun operations have commenced within Wellingborough

In April 2024, we set two local priorities – Road Safety & Traffic Matters and Drug Dealing & Drug Misuse.
These were based on what local people told us concerned them most in their neighbourhood, as well as local crime statistics and information from our partners (such as the local council).
These priorities have been the focus of much of our work over the last six months and below is an update about some of the work we have been doing to tackle them.

We issued 24 drivers with enforcement tickets/summons or warning notices to those who were using vehicles in an anti-social manner. This means if they are found to be doing so again, the vehicle or motorbike can be seized. We’ve also seized 13 motorcycles.
We completed 15 speed enforcement patrols in locations highlighted by the community as being areas of concerns. 
Working with council colleagues, we’ve carried out several parking patrols outside local schools and these will continue.
