Drug related activity

Officers are continuing to carry out regular high-visibility patrols across Avonmouth and Shirehampton, with a particular focus on locations identified as hotspots for drug-related activity. These patrols allow us to gather intelligence, disrupt criminal behaviour, and provide reassurance to residents who may have concerns about issues affecting their local area.

We encourage members of the public to continue reporting any information or concerns they may have. Community intelligence plays a vital role in helping us identify problem areas and enables us to take a targeted approach to tackling drug-related crime and anti-social behaviour. Even what may seem like a small piece of information can help build a clearer picture of ongoing activity.

We have recently received reports of discarded drug-related paraphernalia, including small self-seal bags commonly associated with the supply of controlled substances, being found within the Avonmouth Park area. As a result, residents may notice an increased police presence in and around the park at various times throughout the day and evening as we continue our efforts to deter criminal activity and safeguard the community.

Our priority is to ensure that Avonmouth and Shirehampton remain safe places to live, work, and visit. Through proactive patrols, partnership working, and the continued support of local residents, we are able to identify issues, target offenders, and take positive action where it is needed most.

If you have information about drug-related activity or other concerns within your neighbourhood, please report it via 101, our online reporting services, or 999 in an emergency. Together, we can help create a safer and stronger community for everyone.
