Trentham and Hanford Newsletter - Theft from motor vehicle, criminal damage to motor vehicle, school patrols, street surgeries and Road Safety Meeting

Good evening everyone,

I hope you all are having a good week. 

I have put the dates, times and locations of upcoming Police Street Surgeries towards the bottom of this e-mail. 

Please note, there was an error on the date for the Paddock Rise surgery on the previous message, which has been corrected below. 

Theft from motor vehicle – Pembrey Drive. 

We have received a report that on 14/09/26 at approximately 04:03am, property was stolen from a vehicle, which was parked on the driveway of a property on Pembrey Drive. 

The vehicle was insecure at the time of the incident.

The theft occurred between the two blue arrows on this map. 

We are making good progress with our enquiries into this incident. 

If anyone has any CCTV, Ring doorbell footage or any other information that may help our enquiries, please reply to this message and I will be in touch – thank you. 

Please ensure that when leaving your vehicle unattended (even if it is just for a few minutes), that it is locked, windows fully up and any valuables removed. 

There is some really good advice on how to prevent thefts from motor vehicles on the Staffordshire Police website via this link…

Criminal Damage to motor vehicle – Allerton Rd.

If anyone has any CCTV, Ring doorbell footage or any other information that may help our enquiries, please reply to this message and I will be in touch – thank you. 

School Patrols – Anti-Social Behaviour

Following on from the recent reports of anti-social behaviour during the end of the school day in and around Allerton Road. 

I have been in the vicinity of Allerton Road, Trentley Road and New Inn Lane today (23/09/26) and on Monday (21/09/26) and Tuesday (22/09/26) this week, in order to support Trentham Academy staff and to address any issues. There have been pockets of issues on Monday and this afternoon. I will continue to help the school address these issues and to continue as frequently as possible these targeted patrols. 

Off Road Motorbikes 

This week I have been made aware that off road motorbikes are being used by the fields near to Chatsworth Park Ave/Cow Lane. We have not had any recent reports of this, but I will increase my patrols of this location. If you are aware of any issues relating to the off road bikes at either this or any other location, please do report them via 101 (non-emergency), 999 (emergency) or online at www.staffordshire.police.uk

These reports help us to ascertain where these issues are occurring, along with key days and times. The reports will also help me to give better information to our Road Crime Team, which will improve our effectiveness in addressing these issues. 

Crime Prevention visits. 

This week I randomly visited Greenlea Close and Rolfe Close for Crime Prevention visits. 

Events

The Trentham Central Residents Association have organised a road safety meeting regarding Boma Road and the Surrounding area. 

The meeting will take place on Saturday 26th September 2026, 10am - 12pm at the The Learning Centre, Trentham Academy, Allerton Road, ST4 8PQ. 

I will be attending the meeting and look forward to saying hello to everyone.
