Not in my Neighbourhood Week concludes

Not in My Neighbourhood Week concluded in Pembrokeshire after a week of activity.

During the national week which ran from October 13-17, 13 Misuse of Drug Act warrants were executed in the county, resulting in the seizure of cannabis.

Traffic wardens were also out in force to address concerns residents raised at Police and Community Together (PACT) meetings.

Over 30 fixed penalty notices were issued with the traffic wardens acting as a visible deterrent to offenders.

In Milford Haven, a shoplifting operation took place which resulted in three people being arrested, while in Pembroke Dock, a test purchasing operation took place with trading standards with three of the six premises tested selling alcohol to a person aged under 18.

The Neighbourhood Policing Teams also supported the Tidy Town initiative in Pembroke.

Hundreds of pupils throughout the county received talks on anti-social behaviour and how to stay safe on Hallowe'en and bonfire nights.

The Pembrokeshire Roads Policing Unit was also active in supporting Not in my Neighbourhood Week resulting in four arrests for Class A drugs, one arrest for Class c drugs, five arrests for drink-driving, five arrests for criminal damage, two for public order and one for possession of an offensive weapon.

Nine vehicles were seized for not having legal documents and 12 vehicles were clamped in multi-agency operations with the DVLA.

The week climaxed with a presentation of the High Sheriff of Dyfed and Powys award for policing innovation for the previous Not in My Neighbourhood Week and Neighbourhoods in Action campaign.

Inspector Alan Millichip said: "Pembrokeshire has seen another successful Not in My Neighbourhood Week with agencies and communities working together.

"The results from the operation with trading standards was disappointing and the offending premises will now be dealt with by them.

"Although the activity in NIMNW has been particularly highlighted, I would like to reassure our residents that activity such as this goes on throughout the year in a bid to keep Pembrokeshire safe."
