Pewsey West

Burglary from the home, including garage breaks

Reducing burglary from homes, including offences targeting garages and outbuildings, remains a key priority in Pewsey. This work focuses on preventing opportunistic and organised theft, protecting residents’ property, and increasing awareness of security measures. Through targeted patrols, crime prevention advice, and partnership working, efforts are aimed at deterring offenders, supporting victims, and improving overall community safety and resilience.

Disruption to drug supply and associated addresses

Pewsey continues to prioritise the disruption of drug supply networks and the identification of addresses linked to drug-related activity. This includes targeting individuals involved in the distribution of controlled substances, safeguarding vulnerable residents, and working with partners to address properties being used for criminal exploitation, such as “cuckooing.” Through proactive policing, intelligence-led operations, and community engagement, the aim is to reduce harm, prevent exploitation, and improve safety and confidence within the local community.

Rural crime / hare coursing prevention and detection

Tackling rural crime, with a particular focus on preventing and detecting hare coursing, remains a key priority in Pewsey. This work aims to protect farmland, wildlife, and the rural way of life, while supporting landowners and the wider community. Through high-visibility patrols, intelligence-led enforcement, and close partnership working with farmers and rural organisations, efforts are focused on deterring offenders, disrupting criminal activity, and bringing those responsible to justice, while maintaining confidence in rural policing.
