I have moved to a new account @EPColchester where you can hear about all the great things we do to keep you safe, prevent crime, and catch criminals, please join me on this new account and I look forward to sharing with you.

Recently this bike had been driven dangerously in the Monkwick and Old Heath areas of #Colchester. Now it’s been seized by police and the rider reported for 4 traffic offences. This is the latest in a series of bikes seized for anti-social riding by Colchester CPT. #YouSaidWeDid

CPT officers executed 3 warrants yesterday across #Colchester. Approx 300 plants were seized. 2 charged & remanded. Whatever your view, it is illegal, the supply chain often involves exploitation & community harm, the profits fuel organised crime... and it’s our job to stop it.

Responding to local concerns of nuisance bikes in Greenstead, #Colchester CPT saw this make off down an alley. Undeterred, officers chased on foot and managed to drag the rider from the moving bike as he fled. Rider arrested, reported for 4 offences, bike seized. #YouSaidWeDid

This is an important development for local communities. If the riders ride their bikes in an anti-social manner once more, their bikes will be seized. If you witness such riding, please report it to allow us to take action. #YouSaidWeDid

Lots of proactive drug work from #Colchester CPT today. Plain clothes officers disturbed two dealers mid-deal who then fled on push bikes. But they had already been recognised and within an hour a team entered their house uninvited. Two arrested, drugs recovered.

A wanted male failed to stop on his pedal cycle for me and @PCSOLeeCompton in #Colchester. Not being pursuit trained in the car, we decamped and gave chase on foot, catching him shortly after. Today he was charged and remanded for going equipped, fail to stop and obstruct PC.

Responding to concerns of persistent cannabis smoke from a garden affecting the local community during lock down, #Colchester CPT surprised 4 suspects with a rapid entry over their garden wall whilst they were mid-smoke. 4 arrested, house searched and drugs seized. #YouSaidWeDid

#BusinessAsUsual for #Colchester CPT yesterday. 30 charges prepared for court, COVID patrols, uninsured car seized, & 5 people dealt with after proactive drug patrols. A mini illegal pharmacy taken out of circulation: hash, skunk, 2C-B, cocaine, speed, ketamine, mushrooms & MDVP.

Male was charged with 4 offences & has now been remanded to face Crown Court trial - PWITS class B, PWITS class A, acquiring criminal property and possession of a S5 firearm. We rely on info from the community - tell us about any concerns and we’ll do our best to resolve them.

Responding to community concerns, #Colchester CPT have arrested a Male for possession with intent to supply large amounts of Class A and & B drugs. Cash and a Section 5 firearm also recovered.

A big ask to get proactive results during a lockdown but #Colchester CPT B shift were out tonight conducting numerous stops of people and vehicles. Around ten searches conducted, controlled drugs seized, and a wanted male arrested after he was found in a stopped vehicle.

Nice little find after a proactive vehicle stop by #Colchester CPT B shift to finish the night off

This Op Vocal in #Tiptree yesterday was targeted at a location of specific concern to the community: - Speed checks conducted on around 250 vehicles - 8 drivers reported for traffic offences - 3 stop search - controlled drugs seized and one dealt with for possession.

Reports of an aggravated burglary in the early hours. Unbeknownst to the caller, #Colchester B shift officers had already detained the suspects after a proactive stop on a sus vehicle. 4 arrested. Great work by CID to secure charges on all 4. @CInspHuddleston @InspJuliaFinch

I stopped a male a few months ago for allowing his friend to drive his car without insurance. Seized his car and his friend lost his licence. Today I stopped the same male for driving his friend’s car. This time, we seized his friend’s car and the male will now lose his licence.

Spooked by police cars travelling on blues through an estate in #Colchester , three males were seen to discard this carving knife under a nearby car. Knife off the streets and significant intelligence gained. @CInspHuddleston

Proactive stop on a sus vehicle this morning in Colchester finds an estimated £3,000-£4,000 worth of cannabis. Driver is also disqualified and uninsured. Despite this, on his way to custody, he was adamant that it had been unfair of us to stop him! @EPRoadsPolicing #s163

Further stop searches in #Colchester town centre uncovered this lot in a male’s bag. 21 proactive stop searches tonight targeting areas that impact the local community. Drugs seized, intel gathered and ASB disrupted. @InspJonEvans @ColProactive @SgtStuartAustin

On proactive patrols in #Colchester town centre tonight supporting @ColProactive. So far, 17 stop searches completed. Drug use and ASB disrupted. @SgtStuartAustin @InspJonEvans
