Addressing Antisocial Behaviour (ASB) and Associated Crime in Plymouth North
We are committed to working in partnership with local agencies and the community to deliver sustainable, long-term solutions to issues affecting Plymouth North.

Reducing Drug and Alcohol-Related ASB
Our focus includes tackling incidents linked to drug and alcohol misuse that negatively impact residents and public spaces.

Reducing Antisocial Vehicle Use
We have received multiple reports regarding the antisocial use of vehicles and e-bikes. We aim to reduce these behaviours through education, engagement, and enforcement where necessary.

Improving Road Safety Around Local Schools
Parking and traffic congestion near local schools have been raised as concerns. We are working collaboratively to identify practical and lasting solutions to ensure the safety of children, parents, and residents.

Issued 05 November 2025

The Plymouth North Neighbourhood Policing Team continues to conduct regular patrols, both in uniform and plain clothes, targeting areas identified through community feedback and intelligence. Enforcement action is taken where appropriate.

We are utilising data from multiple sources to identify and address prolific offenders, ensuring effective use of ASB legislation to reduce ongoing issues.

Our officers work closely with partner agencies to deliver coordinated responses to the priorities outlined above. We also aim to educate e-bike users on responsible riding behaviour; however, where necessary, we have seized vehicles in accordance with current legislation.

Targeted patrols are ongoing to address drug and alcohol-related offences. We make full use of our stop and search powers and respond proactively to intelligence reports. The team continues to encourage the public to share any information relating to drug dealing or associated activity in the Plymouth North area.
