Operation Fastwater

Issued 06 October 2026

Operation Fastwater is a local policing priority focused on protecting our community by disrupting and preventing criminal activity linked to the theft of and from motor vehicles. The operation targets an organised group associated with these offences, as well as the dangerous driving that often follows, which places members of the public, road users and emergency responders at significant risk. It also addresses concerns around the exploitation of children by those involved in this criminality, recognising the harm caused to young people who may be coerced or groomed into offending. Through targeted enforcement, safeguarding and partnership working, Operation Fastwater aims to reduce crime, improve road safety, protect vulnerable individuals and provide a safer environment for everyone in the local area.
