Arrest Burgess Park - Exposure

Summary of Activity:

Today, four officers were deployed for extra patrols in and around Burgess Park.

Officers were in uniform, conducting both foot patrols and mobile patrols in a marked police vehicle.

Incident:

During patrols, officers arrested a male who was exposing himself within Burgess Park.

Fortunately, there were no members of the public present at the time of the incident, including school children, girls, or women.

Community Context:

The arrested male is the same individual raised as a concern by residents at the MP’s surgery held on Saturday at The Living Room, Surrey Square.

This swift action directly addresses the concerns raised by the community regarding this individual’s behaviour.

Ongoing Actions:

We are ensuring that the male is not bailed to the address in question, as it is a squat.

The team is working closely with the housing department to secure the property and prevent further issues.

Conclusion:

The team has responded promptly to community concerns and will continue to monitor the area closely.

Further updates will be provided as the situation develops.
