Crime Prevention Advice - Anti-Social Behaviour

Hello Resident,

We are aware of ongoing concerns in Baydon and the surrounding areas relating to anti-social behaviour (ASB) and, more recently, incidents of criminal damage.

We are actively working with partners and increasing local patrols to address these issues.

How you can help prevent crime:

•    Ensure vehicles and properties are secure at all times
•    Keep gardens, sheds, and outbuildings locked
•    Consider installing CCTV, doorbells or sensor lighting
•    If safe to do so, make a note of descriptions, times and locations
•    Speak with young people in your household about the impact of ASB and criminal damage.

Reporting incidents:

Your reports help us build intelligence and take action.

•    Non-emergency incidents (including ASB or criminal damage that's already happened):
o    Call 101
o    Report online via the Wiltshire Police website: www.wiltshire.police.uk/ro/report/ocr/af/how-to-report-a-crime/

•    If criminal damage or ASB is happening at the time (in progress), or there is immediate danger:
o    Call 999

•    Anonymous reporting:
o    Contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111

Why reporting matters:

Even if an incident seems minor, every report helps build a bigger picture. This allows us to:

•    Identify patterns
•    Target patrols
•    Take enforcement action where appropriate

We appreciate your continued support in helping keep our communities safe.
