An abridged update this week, as the team is away, but it is great to see police and probation up and down the country continuing to fight crime and disorder.
Traffic Stop of the Week
Driving at 76mph in a 50mph zone is certainly putting other road users and members of the public at risk. So it was great to see Wiltshire’s Road Policing Unit stop the driver. Of course, they soon discovered the driver was also involved in other criminality: including drug possession and immigration crime. Great work guys!
🚔 Another great traffic stop from police in #Wiltshire who stopped a speeding motorist doing 76mph in a 50mph zone, only to unearth yet more criminality including immigration crime and drug possession. https://t.co/VZzriDMmdG

Community Payback
Probation in Newcastle made great use of Community Payback, picking up litter and improving the environment in and around Leazes Park. We know that cleaner streets are safer streets, and so it’s great to see probation applying this to other public spaces!

Arrest of the Week
More eagle-eyed police officers fighting crime in our arrest of the week – this time in Erdington, where police spotted a stolen vehicle, and subsequently arrested the driver for also being in possession of a large knife! Undoubtedly making our streets safer!
🥇 Great work from police in #Erdington who spotted a stolen vehicle and arrested the driver after he crashed. Officers also found him to be in possession of a large knife. Taking this driver off the streets makes us all safer. https://t.co/N0L11uN0qd

Stop and Search
Great stop and search this week from Norwich, where a driver and passenger were searched and arrested for possession with intent to supply Class A drugs. Well done guys!
🎯 Another crime-fighting #stopandsearch – this time in #Norwich – where police arrested a driver and passenger for possession with intent to supply Class A drugs and for failing to appear at court. Great work! https://t.co/nvbvXNXnfk
