Dunlin Court ASB continues to be a priority for the Neighbourhood policing team
Action taken will be updated every three months
ASB Dunlin Court
ASB Barry Leisure Centre
Dunlin Court continues to be a priority for the Neighbourhood policing team are residents - our increased presence has seen an immediate impact in disrupting criminality resulting in numerous arrests including possession with intent to supply class A drugs, shoplifting , and assault. We will continue to focus this area as we work with partners to deliver long term and sustainable solutions alongside short term interventions.
Increased policing presence and targeted patrols during the evenings and weekends have seen a marked reduction in calls to the Leisure centre. ASB referrals have been issued for persons causing issues and parents have been notified when appropriate. Closed
Focus on retail crime
Shoplifting continues to be a main focus for us during the next few months and with the introduction of the new Town Centre Street Warden, we aim to work with him to identify and apprehend shoplifters and further reduce crime in the area.
Last December we set retail crime as our priority for the Castleland ward - since the there have been 16 incidents of shoplifting reported to police. There have already been 9 arrests for those offences with other charges likely for the most recent cases. This can be considered a success with a detection rate of 56%, more than double that of the national average for 2025 of around 20%. (office for national statistic2024/25) This has been achieved by working with retailers to improve CCTV capabilities in store and by use of plain clothes officers to target known offenders.
Shoplifting & retail crime
We have had a focus on retail theft and prolific offenders. In the last month we have as a team arrested 7 prolific offenders for shoplifting and charged them with a total of 35 different offences.
There has been an increased presence in Holton Road of officers in both plain clothes and uniform.
