Gwent Police launch new team to tackle anti-social behaviour
Gwent Police's Community Action Team began patrols from Cwmbran police station on Monday, June 9, targeting hotspot areas across Blaenau Gwent, Newport, Torfaen, and Caerphilly with a focus on visible policing and community safety. Inspector Laura Paget said: "Neighbourhood policing is all about being proactive, solving local problems, and making sure we're at the very heart of, and engaging with, the communities we serve. "Whether it's investigating the use of off-road vehicles in Alway or tackling ASB in Cwmbran, over the next four months officers will be working in the areas we've identified as being affected most by ASB and acquisitive vehicle crime." The team includes 10 PCSOs, 16 PCs, two sergeants, and is led by Inspector Paget. Since launching, the team has made more than 20 arrests for offences including drug supply, road offences, possession of weapons, and violent crime. They have also seized 21 vehicles connected to anti-social off-road driving or traffic offences. Inspector Paget said: "The public have the right to feel safe in their neighbourhoods, and we've all got a shared commitment to increasing safety, trust in our services, and building strong relationships with the public. "The teams will also continue our work with community safety partnerships in each local authority area to build on the good work already taking place to make our neighbourhoods safer." Funding for additional resources in the Caerphilly area is being provided by Caerphilly County Borough Council, with a focus on improving safety in town centres. Cllr Sean Morgan, leader of the council, said: "We very much welcome the launch of this new initiative. "It enables council services and police services to be more closely aligned and provides additional reassurance to our residents. "CCBC is in a unique position thanks to our financial support to the new team, which demonstrates our continuing commitment to target crime and anti-social behaviour by working in close partnership with Gwent Police. "I look forward to seeing the benefits of this collaborative approach going forward." Blackwood will be the first town in the county borough to benefit from the new policing model. Jane Mudd, police and crime commissioner for Gwent, said: "Chief Constable Mark Hobrough and I are united in our commitment to increase visible policing in our communities. "This is what our residents have told us they want and that is why it forms a key part of my Police, Crime and Justice Plan. "The Community Action Team will provide the Chief Constable with the extra resilience to put more officers on the ground in the areas that need them most, and I look forward to seeing the results of this work in the coming weeks."

Police chief, 48, reveals how she 'jumps if the doorbell goes' after 80-year-old man plagued her with stalking ordeal
A Met Police chief has told of her stalking hell at the hands of an 80-year-old man and says she now 'jumps when the doorbell goes'. Assistant Commissioner Pippa Mills said the impact of being harassed by Richard Jackson now gives her 'sleepless nights'. Jackson appeared at Worcester Magistrates' Court on Thursday after he was charged with stalking. Miss Mills, 48, told the court the pensioner first targeted her when she was Chief Constable of West Mercia Police between 2021 and 2023. The court heard Jackson had also loitered outside New Scotland Yard, when she became a Met Assistant Commissioner in 2024. During this time Jackson bombarded her with emails and messages. Colin Le Roux, prosecuting, said: 'He has no reason to email Miss Mills.' 'He has attended New Scotland Yard on two occasions.' The court heard that Jackson was angry with West Mercia Police about an event in 2004, before Miss Mills had joined the force. In a victim impact statement read out in court, Miss Mills said: 'It is literally giving me sleepless nights. 'I dread walking from the station to New Scotland Yard and back in the evening. I'm hyper vigilant. 'This has had a big impact on my lifestyle including me feeling unsafe in my home in case he finds out where I live. 'I jump if the doorbell goes.' Miss Mills said that she considered herself a 'very resilient police officer' but added: 'It feels very personal.' She added: 'I feel it would not be happening in these circumstances to a male colleague.' Chairman of the bench, Tim Hazell, slapped Jackson with a two-year Stalking Protection Order. Under the order, Jackson is banned from attending New Scotland Yard unless he has a pre-arranged appointment and cannot contact Miss Mills. Jackson has previously been handed an anti-social behaviour order for assaulting a neighbour following an 18-year dispute. He also regularly appeared outside courts wearing a placard accusing police of corruption.
