We have recently received concerning reports about the use of a catapult at The Crammer in Devizes.

A member of the public reported witnessing a group of young males using a catapult and appearing to target ducks resting on the water.

We would like to remind the public of the laws surrounding catapults and slingshots:

• Catapults (slingshots) are legal to own and purchase in the UK. However, carrying one in a public place without a lawful reason may result in prosecution under the Prevention of Crime Act 1953 if it is considered an offensive weapon.

• Using a catapult to harm wildlife or damage property may constitute criminal offences, including breaches of animal welfare legislation, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, the Wild Mammals (Protection) Act 1996, and criminal damage laws.

• Carrying a catapult openly, or without a clear lawful excuse, could lead to it being seized by police and may result in prosecution.

• We ask parents and guardians to be aware of their children's whereabouts and activities, particularly during the school holidays.

Wiltshire Police takes reports of this nature seriously. If you witness someone actively using a catapult to harm wildlife or putting people at risk, please call 999.

For non-emergency incidents, information can be reported online via the Wiltshire Police website at: https://orlo.uk/h9I3S

Thank you for helping us protect local wildlife and keep our communities safe.

Message from Devizes Inspector Andy Lemon:

"Whilst on patrol today I have come across a group of adults drinking in the Market Place in Devizes, which is in breach of the Public Safety Protection Order (PSPO).

"Sadly an adult male became verbally aggressive, abusive, and threatening towards myself. He was subsequently arrested for being drunk and disorderly and for Section 5 of the Public Order Act.

"I wish to thank members of the public who were grateful to see police enforcement, but also who checked on my welfare whilst awaiting support to transport the detained person to the custody unit at Melksham Police Station.

"Officers are being asked to enforce the PSPO and where appropriate arrest those who become threatening or abusive to officers in the process. I’m committed to ensuring the order is robustly policed."

PC Rockley would like to remind the community that, although the weather is hot and our homes can become very warm, it’s important to keep windows and doors secure when leaving the house.

This is a reminder to everyone that although this hot weather can make it tempting to leave windows open, this can provide an easy opportunity for criminals to enter your property and take belongings without you realising.

Please take a few extra moments to check your windows and doors are secure before heading out.

Stay safe and have a lovely rest of your summer! ☀️😊
