👮‍♂️ Over Hulton & Middle Hulton – Weekly Update

Good evening everyone,

As your local neighbourhood policing team, we wanted to share an update on what we’ve been doing across Over Hulton and Middle Hulton this week. Over the last four days we’ve been working late shifts, giving us more time to patrol the areas you've highlighted and engage directly with the community.

🗣️ Community Engagement – Monday 17th February

PC Morris, PS Cooper, PCSO Harrison and PCSO Ratcliffe attended a community meeting at the Salvation Army on Georgina Street.
Residents shared concerns about local issues, and officers discussed ongoing work to address them.

After the meeting, officers patrolled the surrounding area. A vehicle was located on Bella Street with two males inside. Following engagement, both were detained for a Section 23 Misuse of Drugs Act stop search.
Two small bags of cannabis were found, and the owner received a Community Resolution – a formal warning which will appear on an enhanced DBS check.

🚔 Stolen Vehicle Recovered – Tuesday 18th February

While patrolling, PC Morris and PC Chadwick located a suspicious vehicle parked in a back alley.
A check confirmed it was an outstanding stolen vehicle. The driver made off when they saw officers.
A short area search located the vehicle abandoned. It has been recovered and enquiries continue.

On Thursday, PCs Morris and Chadwick were out once again patrolling your local area.
While on the Cutacre Industrial Estate, they witnessed a vehicle being driven in an anti‑social manner.

The driver was stopped and issued a Section 59 warning.
This means that if the driver or vehicle is seen driving in this manner again, police have the power to seize the vehicle on the spot.

Officers also patrolled Morris Green Lane and Longfield Road, providing reassurance and visibility in key areas.
