Whilst patrolling today two motorbikes were seen heading towards Mannamead, with the lead bike towing the rear bike with some rope. Despite their efforts they seemed to panic and left both vehicles when the blue lights went on. 🤔
Two motorbikes seized (one stolen bike to be returned to the owner, and one being used without any correct documentation for the crusher!), and they somehow managed to drop their DNA laden helmets. 🤡

Looks like the real fun begins with the forensics, and results in some door knocks! 😉

Keep looking over your shoulders boys! Just a matter of time now! 🚔

PC Middleton and PCSO Gruitt headed out with the 14 and 15 year old Police Cadets this evening on a test purchasing op with one mission... For them to try (and fail) to buy a v**e 🚭 We are happy to report that out of the 8 shops they went in, they were unsuccessful in all of them. 🥳 Every shop in Plympton, Estover, Crownhill and Eggbuckland sent the cadets away empty handed with nothing but their youthful looks to blame. This is really great news and shows the hard working shop staff doing the right thing challenging for ID helping to keep v**es out of the hands of young people. This shows the bigger issue of adults buying them to give to kids which is also an offence. A big well done to our cadets for their oscar worthy performances and the staff for not falling for it.

🚔 Successful Day at Marsh Mills Retail Park 🛍️

Yesterday, local PC Sheldon, PCSO Welch and the Neighbourhood Support Team, carried out a targeted operation at Marsh Mills Retail Park, focusing on tackling shoplifting and retail crime.

Thanks to strong partnership working with local retailers, officers were able to disrupt criminal activity, provide reassurance to businesses and the public, and take positive action where offences were identified.

We remain committed to supporting our retail communities and ensuring Marsh Mills is a safe place to shop, work, and visit.

If you see suspicious activity, please report it — your information makes a difference.

❗️TRAVEL GUIDANCE | Storm Chandra is bringing rain, wind and flooding across Devon and Cornwall this evening.

If you are travelling on the roads overnight or in the morning, please check the latest travel information before doing so.

We are starting to see some roads become flooded and impassable and this is only likely to increase overnight.

If you know the roads you usually use are likely to flood – please avoid them. Do not attempt to drive through flood water.

If you are using the roads, please drive with caution and care, drive to the conditions and allow plenty of time for your journey. You should also increase your distance from other vehicles and stay attentive to your surroundings.

Your safety and the safety of others depend on responsible driving during adverse weather conditions.

There are many places to check information on the roads including - https://orlo.uk/90gmh your local news, the map app on your phone and other local traffic platforms.

Thank you and stay safe.
