Operation Dresden
Warwickshire Police took part in Operation Dresden over the February half term break. This Operation was aimed at nuisance youth activity, with a particular focus upon underage drinking and the sale of alcohol.
This Operation was deemed to be extremely successful in that a large quantity of alcohol was seized by Officers and PCSO's. Test purchasing was carried out regularly in the Rugby District of licensed premises and those caught drinking underage were dealt with, which in some cases resulted in those involved being taken home to parents.

Warwickshire Police would like to remind parents and young people that purchasing or attempting to purchase alcohol under the age of 18 is illegal and will be dealt with by Police.

We would like to remind those who enjoy the woods to continue to report incidents and descriptions of the riders and vehicles so that Warwickshire Police can direct their patrols accordingly.

Further Action Against Off Road Vehicles in and around Brandon Woods
Unfortunately the enjoyment can sometimes be spoilt by people who choose to take off-road motorcycles and quad bikes into the woods and surrounding area.
It is not permitted to use any sort of motorised vehicle in this area, and doing so is a great safety risk to people walking free in the area. It is also dangerous to the riders who are often not wearing any safety equipment, and any access for emergency services would be extremely difficult.
Rural PCSO's visited the area daily over the holidays to remove any offending vehicles, and deter more from entering.
Approximately 11 riders over the week received a Section 59 Nuisance Vehicle Warning which means if they are found to be committing a similar offence, any vehicle they are using will be seized immediately. In most cases this leads to the vehicle also being crushed.
Warwickshire Police would like to remind riders that the riding of off road vehicles is a priority for this area and one that Warwickshire Police take seriously.
