Officers from Doncaster South Neighbourhood Policing Team worked alongside internal and external partners for the day of action targeting the Athelstane Road area of Conisbrough.

Police recovered a stolen bike and scooter along with seizing a car for no insurance, while ten anti-social behavior contracts were issued and delivered.

The day also included a community litter pick, officers worked with Street Scene to clear the alleyway at the rear of Athelstane Road with the aim of ensuring increased community access and safety and reducing offending.

Officers also executed two positive fail to appear warrants along with ten anti-social behavior contracts – many of which were issued in the presence of the parents in an attempt to reduce further offending.

A spokesperson said: “There was lots of effective information and intelligence gathering for future action and very positive feedback from local residents and the community.
