South Neighbourhood Newsletter – Christmas Edition

December 2019 You said, we did Community speedwatch We have been working with residents in the local community to tackle speeding drivers. This month, we have undertaken community speedwatch operations in Flanderwell, South Anston, Brinsworth and . This is in response to residents raising concerns about the manner in which vehicles travel through their area.

Operation Shield Almost 2,500 Rotherham homes are now protected against thieves in Rotherham, as Operation Shield continues to expand across the district. In the South officers have been helping residents in areas of Dinnington to protect their home.

Operation Shield sees officers work with residents to mark and register valuables using a unique forensic solution. This not only acts as a deterrent to thieves, but ensures that if items are stolen, they are much easier to trace and return to their owners.

The visits are carried out in conjuction with South Fire and Rescue, who carry out fire safety checks.

If you’re interested in learning more about Operation Shield, please email [email protected]. It is completely free!

Crime and antisocial behaviour update Tackling drug use and supply We continue to carry out proactive patrols and stop and search anyone we believe to be involved in criminal activity or in possession of drugs. We recently seized cannabis in Bramley while on proactive patrols, which led to a man being arrested under suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A and Class B drugs. We continue to execute warrants based on intelligence provided by members of the community, and we check licensed premises with a drugs dog to detect anyone in possession of drugs. Please get in touch if you have concerns about drugs in your area.

What your neighbourhood team have been doing PC Neil Windle joins the team PC Neil Windle has joined the Maltby team this month. Please say hello if you see him out and about on patrol.

Finally… Have a safe and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from us all!
