The St Austell Neighbourhood Policing Team are committed to working with partner agencies and the community to tackle anti-social behaviour (ASB).

ASB is conduct that causes (or is likely to cause) harassment, alarm or distress to persons not of the same household of the offender.

Please if you do witness an ASB incident, report it to us at the time it's taking place, this will provide us with the best opportunity to identify the persons concerned and take appropriate action.

Working with our local partners in the retail community we are targeting and robustly dealing with persons who are committing offences against retailers.

Crimes against businesses can take many forms such as shoplifting, non paying diners to staff theft and burglary's. The impact of these crimes is often under appreciated, for smaller independent retailers these offences can mean the difference between staying open or closing for good!

Please ensure all retail crimes are reported to us.

Working in partnership we are going to be targeting addresses and locations that evidence suggest are linked to drug use/dealing. The harm that drugs cause to our communities is unacceptable.
