| Yesterday, the team carried out a further operation as part of Operation Tollense, which aims to reduce the use of e-scooters and off-road bikes on our street, identify those responsible for such offences, and support investigations into the theft of motorbikes.

Following a foot chase and two e-scooters failing to stop for officers, a 23-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply and possession of an offensive weapon. He has since been released on bail while enquiries continue, including efforts to identify the two riders who failed to stop.

The team has also developed intelligence relating to individuals believed to be responsible for riding dangerously on stolen motorbikes. Work is now underway to progress this investigation and identify those involved.

Our work under Operation Tollense will continue, with officers taking positive action to tackle dangerous and illegal use of e-scooters and stolen motorbikes and to identify those responsible.

If you have information about the illegal use of off-road bikes, stolen motorbikes, or e-scooters, please continue to report it to use. Your information helps us target those causing harm in our communities.

Officers will be out at a few events later this week.

🚲 The first event will be bike marking on Friday 28th August from 09:00-11:00, if you are a bicycle owner we can mark it for free, which is a visible deterrent for bike thieves. Find us at Darley Park near the Tea Rooms.

🚒 On Friday afternoon we will be holding a water safety event along with Derbyshire Fire Service, this will be at Darley Playing Fields, Darley Park from 13:00-15:00.

👮🏼 On Saturday 29th we will be at the Summer Fair at St Alkmunds Church from 11:00, there will be lots going on with various stalls and a bouncy castle, we will be there with lots of uniform to try on.

This morning, PCSO Charles was stationed outside Sainsbury's on Kedleston Road discussing local concerns with residents.

Over the last few weeks officers from the team have been out & about at events in Darley Abbey.

The first was the Superhero Picnic in the Park, which was a great success and everyone that attended got the chance to sit in one of our vehicles and try on some uniform.

PCSO's also held a community catch-up at The Greenery.

As the warm and dry weather continues, we would like to urge everyone to play their part in keeping our green spaces, nature and community safe from fires.

We were recently made aware of a deliberate fire that had been set in Allestree Park, which took over a fairly big area and took quite a while for our colleagues at the Fire Service to extinguish.

Can we please remind residents to speak to their young people about responsible behaviour when out and about, and the dangers of setting fires at any time of year, especially when the ground is so dry. We also must consider the dangers of burning waste material, and disposing of ci******es carefully.
