July – October 2014
Welcome to the second edition of the South
Kirkby area newsletter for 2014.
Kirkby Neighbourhood has become the first in
Knowlsey to join Twitter. This is a great
opportunity for the team to publish items of
interest in the form of arrests, traffic
enforcement and general good news.
In addition this format allows for instant
warnings and advice to the people of Kirkby
who ‘follow’ the site. This could be reminding
people to secure their homes and property to
any policing incident that may cause
disruption.
Twitter also gives the residents of Kirkby
access to their policing team; followers can
comment on tweets and also share and tweet
the team itself.
Kirkby Police Station,
Please note that the format is not to be used
to report crimes and incidents that should be
directed to (according to urgency) 101 / 999.
St Chads Drive, Kirkby, L32 8RF
Follow your local police on @MerPolKirkby
This newsletter can be provided in large print,
different languages or in Braille. Please contact your
local Inspector on 101 for further details.

Southdene
You said:Anti Social Behaviour Broad Lane
Shops and the misuse of
scrambler motorcycles.
We did:Officers have been patrolling the
area in uniform and in plain
clothes. They have been on foot,
in vehicles, bicycles and on police
off-road vehicles. This has led to
the seizure of vehicles, the arrest
and charge of several offenders.
Due to concerns from residents,
business owners and following on
from consultation with our partners
we will be seeking a Section 30
Dispersal Order for two tight areas
along Broad Lane.
Westvale
You said:Anti-Social Behaviour around the
shops at Richard Hesketh Drive
and the railway foot bridge running
off Glovers Brow.
We did:Officers have provided a targeted
presence, regularly walking along
both areas of concern. This has
led to the identification of the ring
leaders and main perpetrators of
ASB. The details have been
shared amongst our partner
agencies and several courses of
action; be it warnings, acceptable
Field Lane
You said:Anti-Social Behaviour around the
shops in Copplehouse Lane
We did:Officers have proactively targeted
the area during peak times of
ASB. This presence, combined
with CCTV evidence has led to
the identification of 4 ring leaders
and main culprits. The four male
youths have been visited and
formally given Harassment
Warnings.
Op Brookdale is in place to
address the misuse of off road
bikes and this is our main priority
for ASB in Kirkby.
This operation was run
throughout the force in July but
has now been extended to run
throughout August within
Knowsley.
To date we have seized nearly 20
scrambler motorcycles and offroad vehicles within Kirkby.
Call CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800
555 111 or 101 with any
information. Thank you.
Kevin Chartlon, 48 years from Kirkby was convicted in July for the
harassment of a town centre employee. He was sentenced to 16 weeks
imprisonment. This follows on from his conviction in April for the
harassment of a further two town centre employees.
A warrant was executed by the neighbourhood team at an address in
Morston Crescent, Kirkby. During the search 100 cannabis plants were
discovered and an adult male from the Anfield area arrested. This
cannabis production had a regular yield of up to £85,000 and it has now
been closed down.
The arrested male had his Jaguar motor vehicle seized and will not face
the criminal justice process.
Message to all persons who visit Kirkby Town Centre by car:The illegal and inconsiderate parking within and around the town centre
by the minority of drivers is now facing a clamp down. Please park
lawfully or you will be issued with a fine and in some cases your vehicle
will be removed; drastically increasing the cost of any shopping.
Burglary
There are a number of things you
can do to keep your home safe:• Lock your windows and doors
when you go out or to bed
• Make sure you lock your UPVC
doors properly if you have one –
remember to lift the handle, turn
the key and remove it
• Use your house alarm if you’ve
got one. Light timer switches
are a good idea too
• Keep your valuables out of sight,
away from your doors and
windows, e.g. keys, tablets, lap
tops, wallets / purse
• Lock sheds and garages if you
have one
