Police have been carrying out targeted activity following community concerns in Helston around antisocial behaviour (ASB) in a bid to identify and deter offenders.

Proactive work has included both foot and vehicle patrols in places where ASB has been reported, including areas around Deer Park, Sika Drive and Fallow Road.

Officers have also visited local schools in the area to carry out engaging presentations in an effort to educate and deter young people from becoming involved in ASB offences.

PS Chris Vincent said: “Whilst the number of incidents reported to us remain low in these areas, we understand that ASB remains a concern for members of our community.”

“The incidents we are investigating involve information about drivers racing their vehicles, individuals spotted smoking suspected cannabis and one report of graffiti.”

Commenting on the importance of reporting, PS Vincent added: “To help us help you, we really need you to report any ASB you see. If you don’t tell us, we can’t do anything about it.

“Reporting is simple – you can do it our website, by calling 101, or chatting to an officer about it when you see them. If you’ve put information on social media, please don’t assume we’ll see this – always use the official channels to report.

“What you tell us is key in helping plan our patrols so that we have the best chance of identifying and deterring offenders. Thank you.”
