Anti-Social Behaviour
Off-Road / On-Road Bike Nuisance
Problem management plan remains in place under Operation JERICHO.
Monthly days of action have been undertaken with support from the Off-Road Bike Team (ORBT), targeting identified hotspot locations.
The local Neighbourhood Policing Team remains aware of the identified off-road bike hotspots, particularly within the Clipstone and Garibaldi areas. Reports continue to be received, and officers have also experienced a number of fail-to-stop incidents involving off-road bikes and Sur-Rons.
Officers will continue to review intelligence submissions and conduct enforcement visits where offenders have been identified.

Serious Acquisitive Crime
The team continues to proactively target offenders responsible for burglary, theft and other acquisitive crime offences through a combination of plain clothes deployments, intelligence-led activity and specialist operations.
On 4 July, a successful plain clothes operation resulted in:
•One arrest for burglary
•One arrest for eight shop theft offences
This activity received positive media coverage through Nottinghamshire Police social media channels, the Newark Advertiser and Radio Newark, helping to reassure the public and demonstrate ongoing enforcement activity.
Operation ANGELINE – 24 June 2026
Rural patrols were conducted in hotspot locations identified through recent reports of fuel thefts from farms. The operation focused on prevention, disruption and intelligence gathering, with a number of vehicles identified through the use of positive CCTV opportunities. Enquiries remain ongoing.
Operation MIMICAL ANPR Day – 8 July 2026
An ANPR operation was conducted targeting vehicles linked to serious acquisitive crime and drug-related offending. The activity provided reassurance within affected areas and contributed to intelligence gathering and disruption activity.
The team will continue to utilise intelligence-led patrols, plain clothes operations, ANPR deployments and targeted enforcement opportunities to identify and disrupt offenders responsible for acquisitive crime across the district.
Drugs
A proactive approach to tackling drug-related activity continues across the area.
Following the recent ASB Day of Action in the town centre on 18 July, one male was arrested for Possession with Intent to Supply (PWITS) after being found in possession of a quantity of white powder.
Significant work continues to be undertaken by the Neighbourhood Policing Team to develop intelligence and disrupt those involved in the supply of controlled drugs. During June and July, the NPT Tasking Team conducted six drug seizures as part of ongoing enforcement activity.
•Officers will continue to gather, develop and submit intelligence relating to drug activity.
•Where the evidential threshold is met, further warrant applications will be sought to target offenders and disrupt criminality.
The team remains committed to pursuing those involved in the supply of illegal drugs and reducing the harm they cause within local communities.
Operation Cognition
The team are planning future Operation Cognition activity, with dates currently being arranged to support further proactive enforcement and intelligence-led operations.
