Message from Inspector Jon Papworth Last month I discussed crime prevention with the nights pulling in earlier and clocks going back. Since then, my local officers have arrested 3 males for burglary in the local area. Enquiries continue and officers patrol according to identified trends. To reassure you, crime levels for burglary remain low overall and we are determined to target anyone who commits this impactive crime.

County Lines drug dealing is often in the news. As such, we remain proactive around targeting those suspected of selling drugs locally. Whilst this often takes a Local Policing little time to gather the information to apply for a Warrant at the Magistrates’ Court, I would encourage anyone with concerns over drugs to contact my local Beat Commander Managers or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. I give you my commitment that all Breckland North information will be looked at.
