Update 29/03/2012: High visibility patrols are being conducted at peak times. Joint agency work continues and we are in the process of setting up a regular meeting between the businesses that have open car parks in the area that attract the cruisers. Residents are urged to contact the police if they are experiencing problems at the time they happen, on either 101 (non emergency) or 999, so that we can attend and deal with the issue at the time. Update 02/05/2012: High visibility patrols remain in place. A joint agency meeting was held with the owners of the retail park and we are currently looking to set up a network between all the stores that would help us combat the issue.
