 <\/p>\n

The crime statistics above are a comparison between 2016-2017 and 2017-2018. It can be seen that the number of recordable crimes differ only slightly between the time periods.<\/p>\n

Theft and handling offences<\/strong><\/p>\n

This includes thefts from vehicle (mainly tools), theft of vehicle (very few), domestic thefts, shop thefts, tools from work sites, gates and lead thefts.<\/p>\n

Dwelling and non-dwelling burglaries <\/strong><\/p>\n

The majority of burglaries in Chew Valley are non-dwelling burglaries (sheds\/outbuildings and commercial properties). The number of dwelling burglaries has remained consistent over the last 2 years. It should be noted that some recorded dwelling burglaries are domestic related or where the suspect and offender know each other.<\/p>\n

Violence against the person offences <\/strong><\/p>\n

This category includes offences from low level public order (shouting and swearing), physical assaults (usually minor), neighbourhood issues, ASB, domestic incidents and road rage incidents.<\/p>\n

Drugs<\/strong><\/p>\n

There have been very few identified issues with drugs in the last couple of years. Out of the 4 recorded drugs offences in 2017-2018 period, 3 were personal use and one was a small cannabis grow, again for personal use.<\/p>\n

Local police are aware of the issues with NOS use and are patrolling the areas where young people are likely to gather to use this.<\/p>\n

Arson<\/strong><\/p>\n

There were two recorded arsons, one was a porta-loo which was set on fire and the other was a barn fire.<\/p>\n

Summary<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Crime in the Chew Valley remains relatively low in comparison to other areas, with approximately one crime for every 20 people living in the area. However, w are always looking to reduce this number further and as such, we are working hard to maintain a visible police presence in the Chew Valley and surrounding areas.\u00a0 We continue to encourage members of the community to contact their Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinators or the police to report any suspicious activity.\u00a0 We rely on intelligence and information from those around us to assist in keeping our communities safe.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Other news from the beat<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

We are interested in starting a Chew Valley Community Speed Watch Scheme, as we are aware that there are areas within Chew Valley where speeding is an issue.\u00a0 We hope to gather a large group of volunteers to assist with watches throughout the area, where problems are identified.\u00a0 The hope is that with a large group of volunteers, we will be able to maintain a regular watch and we can provide a large community effort across the whole Valley and not just individual villages.<\/p>\n
