Police carry out road crime crackdown in Epsom and Ewell

Surrey Police have carried out a crackdown on road crime across Epsom and earlier this month, the joint operation was launched in direct response to growing concerns from residents regarding problems such as anti-social driving, speeding, nuisance quad bikes and illegal parking, the force said. It resulted in 90 traffic stops, 12 arrests, five weapons/drugs seizures, the impounding of 15 vehicles for having no licence or insurance and 32 fixed penalty notices being issued, Surrey Police Inspector, Dan Ayrton called the multi-agency effort "the largest operation of its kind", adding that the move "shows how seriously Surrey Police takes community concerns". Focusing on "hot spots" such as Epsom town centre, West Ewell and the Nonsuch Park area, six people were also reported for summons and two vehicles deemed unfit for the road due to having serious defects."This is the largest operation of its kind that we have carried out to tackle road crime and vehicle-related offending in Epsom and Ewell," said Mr Ayrton, adding that it was part of the government's wider plan to tackle anti-social behaviour."It shows our commitment to responding to and dealing with community concerns and is the first of many to deal with these issues," he said. He said that other boroughs will be part of Surrey Police's targeted response in the coming months.
