THE community police team in Bodmin has issued an update after recent arrests in the town.

Bodmin community neighbourhood team has said it had been making some proactive arrests in order to better benefit the town and community.

Utilising its neighbourhood support team, a series of plain clothed patrols were undertaken in the town, with three arrests performed while on duty.

A male was arrested in possession of a knife and was arrested and later bailed with conditions not to enter Cornwall, while a ‘prolific female’ offender was said to be targeting elderly residents and arrested on suspicion of burglary. A third offender was arrested for multiple breaches of their criminal behaviour order.

It was also a busy week for the police’s local traffic team, with two users of ‘noisy mopeds’ which had been causing noise in the town’s neighbourhoods with either an aftermarket exhaust or none at all.

Both riders of the mopeds were reported for traffic offences and issued with Section 59 notices.

A spokesperson for Devon and Cornwall Police said: “Bodmin Neighbourhood made some proactive arrests to better benefit the town and community. Using our neighbourhood support team we conducted plain clothed patrols in town. Units detained a male in possession of a knife. He was arrested and bailed with conditions not to enter Cornwall.

“The team also arrested a prolific female targeting elderly residents. She was arrested on suspicion of burglary. We also arrested a prolific offender for multiple breaches of his Criminal Behaviour Order.

“Our traffic team at Bodmin have also been out dealing with noisy mopeds. Last weekend our traffic colleagues stopped two mopeds at 11pm. One had an aftermarket exhaust, the other had no exhaust at all!

“Both drivers reported for traffic offences along with Section 59 Notices. If they cause any further anti-social behaviour we can seize their vehicles.”
