Bridlington Community teams continue to prioritise disrupting the drug dealing activity in and around Bridlington and dealing with the ASB related to this crime. We have carried out 3 Misuse of Drugs Act  warrants in Bridlington during December seizing around £10,000 worth of herbal cannabis, £6000 in cash, potential petrol bombs, a blank firing hand gun, and have taken numerous potential offensive weapons off the streets - whilst also arresting 4 persons during these warrants. 

The work against ASB in Bridlington doesn’t stop there and officers are working hard behind the scenes to produce reports to the Magistrates so Community Behaviour Orders can be issued to our top offenders by the courts. PCSO`s in Bridlington recently went to Beverley Magistrates and were successful in getting a CBO granted against one of our most prolific offenders – suspected of carrying out around 100 ASB incidents, and another female has recently been arrested for breaching her CBO several times.

We appreciate that ASB affects the publics’ day to day life- kids will be kids but when they cross the line we will act and bring these offenders to justice.

Meeting People
To counter the scourge of drug dealing in our communities PC 434 BRIGHAM, PC 325 STARK and the rest of the Community team at Bridlington are looking at setting up Neighbourhood watch schemes in the areas where these successful warrants have taken place in an attempt to make the areas more resilient. We recently held an event on Windsor Crescent and are holding a similar event at Chantry Court Abbots way, Bridlington on 17th January 1300hrs in the company of Maureen Yates the Councils crime reduction and resilience officer for the East Riding and would welcome anybody who is interested in joining NHW- not just for Abbots Way but anywhere in Bridlington.
