Bulletin 15 July 4th – July 17th 2024
As the summer holidays are beginning here are a few thoughts for you. Inspector Lyndsey Whatley Tandridge Safer Neighbourhood Inspector
CRIME REPORTS IN YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD
Our Neighbourhood Patrol Team and Safer Neighbourhood Team deal with a variety of incidents. Here are a few they dealt with since the last Bulletin.
There were 24 Arrests in the period June 30th to July 15th : Domestic Abuse / Violent Domestic Abuse 5, Violent Crime Other 1, Violent Crime Public Place 2, Prescribed Limit Offence 4, Sexual Offence 2, Offensive Weapon 3, Crime Other 2, ASB Nuisance 1, Child at Risk 1, Theft 1, Criminal Damage 1, and Drink/Drug in Charge 1.
“What a waste!” some might say but if you’re under 18, it’s against the law:
• for someone to sell you alcohol • to buy or try to buy alcohol • for an adult to buy or try to buy alcohol for you • to drink alcohol in licensed premises (such as a pub or restaurant)
Officers were recently conducting their regular patrols at the Surrey National Golf course when and had cause to seize several bottles of alcohol from a group of 14-15 year olds.
There are good reasons why buying alcohol is illegal for under-18s. Alcohol can be harmful to children and young people, with health risks including acute alcohol poisoning, an increased risk of becoming involved in violence, and damage to still developing organs like the brain and liver, not to mention the ASB that often arises as a result of their intoxication.

PC Carmen High and PC Kirstyn Donovan-Baker who are in our Neighbourhood Patrol Team recently visited Woodlands Preschool for their 'community heroes' session. The children got to ask questions, see the uniforms, equipment and police car.
Our officers got some lovely feedback and we are glad that the children had fun and informative experience learning about what we get up to on a day to day!
In Copthorne on July 6th a female was arrested on suspicion of driving over the prescribed limit for alcohol.
On July 9th in Caterham on the Hill a male was arrested for shoplifting and assault on an Emergency Worker.
On July 12th in Caterham a female driver was stopped for exceeding the speed limit. She was a disqualified driver, driving without insurance and tested positive for Cocaine and Cannabis.
ON July 17th in Newchapel a male driver was arrested for driving whilst disqualified, driving without insurance and driving over the prescribed limit.
