The Public Safety Foundation
A slightly compressed week as we resume issuing our Safer Streets Weekly Updates every Wednesday. This week we cover everything from a proactive traffic stop in Luton to another successful police raid in Newcastle!
Traffic Stop of the Week
Police officers brough a suspected stolen vehicle to a safe stop in Luton on the M1, using their vehicles and advanced training to ensure public safety. Four teenagers were all arrested and the vehicle was seized as it was suspected to have been stolen from the Northamptonshire Police area. Great work!
🚔 Our #TrafficStop of the week goes to police officers in #Luton who safely stopped this suspected stolen vehicle after it failed to stop for police. Proactive policing making our neighbourhoods safer. https://t.co/cEePfu9aa2

Arrest of the Week
Eagle-eyed officers in Kent stopped a driver for using their mobile phone. After stopping the vehicle, a search was conducted and more than £1million of drugs were found and seized, with the driver arrested. An excellent example of a simple everyday traffic stop helping make our streets safer!
🚀 More great crime-fighting from #police officers today – this time in #Swanley, Kent, where the driver of a van was stopped and the vehicle searched – resulting in more than £1m of drugs being seized. Great work! https://t.co/3rJW2SarN3

Stop and Search
Stop and search took more weapons and drugs off the streets in Preston, with both occupants of the vehicle stopped, searched and arrested for drug supply and offensive weapon offences. Don’t forget that stop and search helps save lives and helps fight acquisitive crime.
🎯 Another great #stopandsearch, this time from police in #Preston who stopped, searched, arrested, charged and remanded two people for suspected drug and weapons offences. Top job! https://t.co/ydeOW1HANq
