Neighbourhood Priorities
Youth Engagement
Building positive relationships with our young residents in the South Hams.
Visits to Schools, pre schools, Clubs and generally when out on patrols.
Ongoing engagement with youths around the town and areas in the evenings.
Friday can be our problem night due to Youth night, although this is a positive for the young people it is also a freedom night and they are allowed to be outside of the club. This in turn can cause issues between large groups.
Issue Date Saturday 22nd June 2024
Fore Street Ivybridge anti social behaviour
Ivybridge Neighbourhood team and our Special Constabulary will be conducting high visibility patrols and reassurance following recent events. With the warm weather with us at last we want to make sure everyone is safe within the town. We will be working with partner agencies including local council, Licencing department and support agencies to assist us in our duties.
Ongoing monitoring at this time.

Shoplifting
22/06/2024 - Ongoing issues, background work going on at this time.
19/05/2024 - 2 known offenders have been arrested for theft offences and enquiries are ongoing at this time. Retail staff, police and public to carry on working together to deter further offending.
27/04/2024 Prolific offenders still targeting the local supermarkets, ongoing enquiries and strategies work in progress.
Prolific offenders will be very brazen in their attempts and thefts, public vigilance is key to receiving reports.
Ongoing problems in our local supermarkets / stores of theft of high value items such as meat joints, spirits, crates of alcohol.
Most thefts are of items that can be sold on quickly and we urge the public to report of suspicious behaviour to the staff so they can contact us. We would not advise people to take their own course of action or put themselves in any danger.
Issue Date Saturday 22nd June 2024
