An ongoing police operation cracking down on nuisance car cruisers has resulted in more than 120 drivers being dealt with
by Nottinghamshire police- including two arrests - in response to concerns raised by local residents and businesses. Operation Triplefin was launched in October last year to prevent and reduce antisocial behaviour and criminal activity associated with the car cruises.
A strong smell of cannabis was coming from one of the cars. It was stop searched and cannabis was found. Police said the driver failed a drugs wipe so was arrested on suspicion of drug driving and possession of cannabis. It comes after car cruisers were warned they could be prosecuted if they attend gatherings in the area after the installation of a new CCTV camera.
Four automatic number plate recognition cameras have been placed along the loop road as an added measure to prevent and reduce antisocial behaviour. In another move to tackle car cruisers near the retail park, Nottinghamshire Police and Gedling Borough Council have been working together on plans to create a public spaces protection order .
Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner Caroline Henry said: “The impact of antisocial behaviour on residents and businesses cannot be underestimated - and will not be accepted. This operation is a great example of police and partner agencies working together to stand up against those who cause safety concerns and intolerable noise nuisance for local people.
