The first week of April saw more excellent work making the street safer from right across the UK.
Traffic Stops
In Humberside, Police Dog Roxy and colleagues stopped a stolen vehicle and the driver was subsequently arrested for burglary. Police dogs really help the police catch criminals and deter those who might be up to no good. A great result from Police Dog Roxy and her handler!
🚔 This week's #TrafficStop goes to police officers in #Humberside, who were ably assisted by Police Dog Roxy in stopping a stolen vehicle and arresting the suspect. Good on Roxy for being there to take a bite out of crime! https://t.co/QbYTkzNONv

Stop and Search
Another knife and the person carrying it was taken off the street thanks to the excellent use of stop and search to reduce violent crime. In this particular case, officers on foot patrol in Romford made the arrests.

Arrests
In Belfast, police arrested a man and found more than £100,000 of drugs and £30,000 of cash as part of an investigation into the supply of illegal drugs. The Police Service of Northern Ireland operate in a challenging environment, and good to see them tackling drug-dealing robustly. Well done!

Warrants and Raids
Meanwhile, in Preston, as part of a police operation named ‘Warrior’, police taided an address early in the morning and seized drugs, cash and weapons. Great to see these Lancashire police officers taking the fight against crime to the door of another drug dealer! Great work!

Community Payback
Finally, in Derbyshire, probation officers put convicted criminals to work cleaning up rubbish from paths, parks, and housing estates – with more than 70 bags of rubbish collected. We know that cleaner streets are safer streets, so it’s great to see probation in Derbyshire making sure that Community Payback contributes to the fight against crime!
👷 Our #CommunityPayback of the week is from #Derbyshire, where 70+ bags were filled with rubbishcollected from paths, parks, and housing estates. Great work delivering justice and building on the fact that cleaner streets are safer streets! #CP50 https://t.co/UKcMKBsMHo
