🚲 Bikes out. Garden furniture out. Kids toys everywhere. Summer is here ☀️
But summer also brings a rise in thefts from gardens, sheds and garages.
Please remember:
🔐 Lock sheds and garages
🔐 Secure bikes properly
🔐 Don’t leave expensive tools outside overnight
🔐 Consider sensor lights where possible
A lot of summer crime is simply opportunists spotting something easy to take.

| A banned driver who drove off from police at nearly twice the speed limit through busy Chesterfield streets has been jailed for three years.

Officers were driving in a marked police car in Malson Way at 10.10am on 12 December 2025 when a grey VW Golf suddenly drove off at speed.

Behind the wheel was Jack Cartwright, who knew he was banned from driving.

He led officers on a pursuit through the town, driving at speeds of more than 50mph in a 30mph limit – overtaking other cars at speed on the wrong side of the road and tailgating drivers to make them move out of the way.

However, as the 22-year-old attempted to avoid a line of traffic he ran out of talent and ran straight into a bush.

With his door jammed closed Cartwright wriggled free of the car through his open window – but was quickly detained by an officer after a short foot pursuit.

Cartwright was charged with dangerous driving, failing to stop, driving while disqualified, and driving without insurance. He was remanded to police custody but then bailed by the courts after appearing at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates’ Court on 13 December 2025.

Following a guilty plea to all charges Cartwright appeared at Derby Crown Court on 30 April where he was handed three years in jail.

You know that moment where you just “pop upstairs for a minute” and leave the back door open while the kids are on the trampoline?
That’s exactly the kind of opportunity burglars look for.
During warmer months we often see:
🚪 Unlocked patio doors
🪟 Open downstairs windows
🌿 Easy access through gardens and side gates
Most burglars aren’t master criminals — they’re opportunists looking for an easy chance.
Before bed tonight:
✔️ Check windows
✔️ Lock patio doors
✔️ Bring keys away from doors
✔️ Make sure sheds and garages are secure
A 30-second check could save a lot of heartbreak.

“We were only in the garden…”
That’s something officers hear time and time again after summer burglaries.
Kids playing outside. Washing out. BBQ on. Front door unlocked.
It feels safe because you’re home.
But burglars often target homes where they can quickly spot:
👀 Phones left near doors
🔑 Keys in plain sight
💻 Laptops visible through windows
Please don’t make it easy for someone to walk in and out unnoticed.

Derbyshire gardens are lovely in summer… but overgrown hedges and unlocked side gates can also give burglars cover.
Quick summer reminder:
✔️ Lock side gates
✔️ Don’t leave ladders or tools outside
✔️ Secure bikes and garden equipment
✔️ Trim hedges where possible near access routes
If someone can get around the back unseen, they’re far more likely to try.

🔑 Quick question…
Could somebody standing outside your front window see:
👀 Car keys
👀 Handbags
👀 Laptops
👀 Tablets or phones?
Because burglars absolutely look through windows before targeting homes.
One of the easiest things you can do tonight:
✔️ Move valuables away from view
✔️ Keep keys away from doors and windows
✔️ Close downstairs blinds at night
Most burglars want easy opportunities.
Don’t give them one.

⚠️ Chesterfield Area Update – Motorbike Thefts ⚠️
We’ve seen an increase in reports of motorbike thefts across the Chesterfield area in recent weeks. The majority of these incidents have occurred where bikes have been left in publicly accessible locations or on open driveways, making them easy targets for opportunistic thieves.
We are asking all riders and residents to remain vigilant and take steps to protect their property.

🔐 Crime Prevention Advice
Please consider the following measures to reduce the risk of theft:

Use a garage where possible – Keeping your bike out of sight is one of the most effective deterrents.
Secure your bike properly – Use high-quality locks such as:

Disc locks
Heavy-duty chains secured to a ground anchor

Cover your motorbike – Even a basic cover can discourage thieves by making it less visible and more time-consuming to access
Install CCTV or security lighting – Motion-activated lighting and visible cameras can deter offenders
Consider a tracker – GPS tracking devices can assist in recovering stolen bikes
Park smartly – If you don’t have a garage, park in well-lit areas or as close to your home as possible
Remove keys and immobilise – Never leave keys in the ignition and always engage the steering lock

👀 Report Suspicious Activity
If you see anyone acting suspiciously around motorbikes in your area, or have any information relating to these incidents, please report it.

📞 Call 101 for non-emergencies
🚨 Call 999 if a crime is in progress
🕵️ You can also report anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111

On Saturday 13th June 2026, officers from the Chesterfield Safer Neighbourhood Team were proud to attend the Chesterfield PRIDE event. 🌈.

It was a fantastic day celebrating diversity, inclusivity, and community spirit. We had the opportunity to engage with members of the public, partner agencies, and local organisations — strengthening relationships and promoting a safe and supportive environment for everyone.

We even had the chance to meet Honey G, who was a great sport and took part in a light‑hearted ‘arrest’ for a photo opportunity! 👮‍♀️📸

Thank you to everyone who came along to say hello and helped make the event such a positive and welcoming experience.
