Hello Resident,

We hope you have had a peaceful week as we head into 2025. Doesn’t time fly. Here is an update regarding the last week in Burbage.  

Reported Crime and Appeals

Some excellent work completed by attending officers which may have prevented further crime.

Patrols, Police Activity and local engagement

Since our last update on the 23rd of December, there has been 44 calls to Police. 12 of these calls were emergency and 10 were priority calls. These calls include concerns such as concerns for safety, suspicious persons and criminal damage. Many of these calls were attended by officers, whilst other reports will be dealt with over the coming days as appropriate. 

Please continue to be mindful around vehicle crime and residential burglary as we head into January. Based on historical crime figures, the early part of the year can see an increase in these types of crime. Feel free to get in touch if you have any concerns or would like any crime reduction support. 

With schools closed and many local businesses shut, we have been completing lots of patrols, leaflet drops (as pictured above) and crime reduction work with residents over recent weeks. We are also planning some targeted work for when the schools return in January around road safety. 

Crime prevention and issues to be aware of

As scams are an ever-increasing issue that affect residents of all ages, please see the National Cyber Security Centre site for lots of useful information. Everything from news to education, advice and hacked accounts. National Cyber Security Centre - NCSC.GOV.UK

If you notice any fly tipping, please report this to Fly-tipping | Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council as these issues are dealt with by the council. Feel free to pass on any information regarding suspects/vehicle information that was involved but HBBC will be the lead agency for these incidents. 

Thank you and take care.
