Neighbourhood Priorities for Totnes East

Operation Applerose

Operation Applerose has been lauched to tackle drug use and supply in the town centre and the assoictaed ASB and begging drug use is realted to.

Begging is a real issue and the maount of persons begging in Totnes has risen.  There are a host of reasons for this. That begging, which was once passive and almost friendly in nature has changed to a more aggressive, intimidating style that is frightening people.

We have issued a number of beggars with warning letters, coupled with signposting information about where they can go for help.  This has been done in conjunction with South Hams District Council.

So whilst a more robust approach to begging is being taken, we are seeking to help and support people also.

Discarded needles and other paraphanerlia are causing public amenities to close and pose a health risk to members of the public.

Days of action will continue to tackle drugs supply.

Update 15/08/2018

Op Applerose continues with a raft of persons now housed and off the streets. There have been several prosecutions for drug related offences and numerous search warrants.

Individual needs have been addressed to ensure their continued wellbeing.

Update 08/11/2018

Having housed several local persons who have been homeless for some time, we have had an influx of new persons from outside the area who are causing ASB. We are using relevant legislation to combat the issues, but it does appear as soon as we deal with one group, their place is taken by another.

There is ASB at local bus stops, on Vire Island and on Fore St and High St. Pesons are being moved on and the No Drinking Zone is being enforced.

Issues are also being reported in Bridgetown in relation to low level street dealing. There are various tactics in place to identify persons (those who we haven't already identified) responsible so that we can target them.

Update 10/02/2019

Over the Christmas period 2018 3 further males were arrested and remain under investigation for Possession with Intent to Supply Class A, B and C drugs.

Update 28/01/2019

ASB legislation has been used to ban persons causing a nuisance from the Town Centre. There have been further street stop and searches of individuals with small amounts of drugs seized. Further warrants are planned on the back of community intelligence.

Update: 10 April 2019 - Updates

Please see Totnes Police Facebook page for all updates in relation to Operation Applerose
