Anti-social behaviour crackdown across Tavistock and Okehampton
An 'outstanding issue'
The force said there had been 104 anti-social behaviour incidents in Tavistock between April 2023 and March 2024, 66 fewer than between April 2019 and March 2020.Sgt Ottley said previous PSPOs, which only covered The Meadows, drove drinking and anti-social behaviour further into the town."We conducted some consultation with the public, last summer we put out lots of surveys asking what issues were impacting them, where they lived, where they worked," he said."Anti-social behaviour was by far the outstanding issue for everyone."
He said the new order was town-wide and would enable officers to be consistent in tackling anti-social behaviour."Street drinking was an issue, we targeted the individuals that were perpetrating that," he said,"This is a preventative measure, this isn't in response to a wave of crime."This is a generalised response to what people in the community are concerned about, and future-proofing and keeping it a nice town, and Okehampton of course."

Police seize £180k of Andrew Tate's Aston Martin supercar deposit
A total of £180,000 has been seized by Devon and Cornwall Police from Andrew Tate over a deposit he placed on an Aston Martin Magistrates' Court heard on Thursday the controversial British-American influencer paid the deposit for a special-edition Valhalla vehicle in 2021. The cash came from tax evasion and money laundering, the force said, which obtained account freezing and forfeiture orders under the Proceeds of Crime Act. Tate and his brother Tristan did not oppose the sum can be added to the £2.7m of funds seized from the brothers by the force in December 2024 after the same court ruled they failed to pay tax on £21m of revenue from online businesses. Some of the revenue in that case was directly linked by detectives to allegations of human trafficking that the brothers face in Romania. Sarah Clarke KC, on behalf of Devon and Cornwall Police, told the judge on Thursday that the funds used to pay the supercar deposit were the proceeds of tax and VAT evasion and money said funds deposited with Aston Martin originally came from a Coinbase cryptocurrency account, which had held multiple cryptocurrencies purchased with funds derived from the Tate brothers' business tax or VAT had been paid on the funds, she added. Det Supt Jon Bancroft, of Devon and Cornwall Police, said: "This latest judgement follows on from our applications made against the Tate brothers which resulted in a successful ruling in December 2024 and the forfeiture of nearly £2.7m of criminal funds."From the outset we aimed to demonstrate that Andrew and Tristan Tate evaded their tax obligations and laundered money. We succeeded in doing exactly that and we have succeeded again this week."People in Devon and Cornwall will benefit from the money seized and it will be reinvested to help prevent crime, aid victims and vulnerable people, and to boost good causes."He added the outcome showed how the police would continue to "relentlessly pursue all criminal funds without fear or favour".

ANDREW Tate's £180,000 deposit on a supercar has been seized by police.

Andrew Tate's £180,000 deposit for Aston Martin 'Bond' supercar seized by police
Andrew Tate has had £180,000 he used as a deposit for an Aston Martin supercar seized by police. The controversial social media influencer paid the sum towards the £850,000 special edition Valhalla in July 2021. A version of the car appeared in the James Bond film No Time To Die. But the cash came from tax evasion and money laundering, Devon and Cornwall Police said. The six-figure sum can be added to the near £3 million of criminal funds seized in 2024 from self-proclaimed misogynist Tate and his brother Tristan. Police obtained account freezing and forfeiture orders at Westminster Magistrates' Court this week. The Tates did not oppose the orders. Half of the funds can be distributed to good causes by the force, while the Treasury will receive the other half. The cash deposited with Aston Martin originally came from a crypto-currency account, police said. No tax or VAT had ever been paid on these funds. Detective Superintendent Jon Bancroft said: 'This latest judgment follows on from our applications made against the Tate brothers which resulted in a successful ruling in December 2024 and the forfeiture of nearly £2.7 million of criminal funds. 'People in Devon and Cornwall will benefit from the money seized and it will be reinvested to help prevent crime, aid victims and vulnerable people, and to boost good causes.'
