IDENTIFIED LOCAL ISSUES
Various road traffic initiatives (which accounts for the high number of road traffic incidents) were carried out across the Stepps area. Advice was given around driver behaviour and vehicle parking. North Lanarkshire Council have recently started enforcing the pavement parking legislation and any issues regarding parking in the area should be directed through their website in the first instance.
Three parcels have been stolen from doorsteps after being delivered by couriers. Enquiries are ongoing in relation to these. Anyone who is ordering items online should encourage delivery companies to leave items with a neighbour where possible. Anyone who has experienced parcels being stolen should report the incidents to police.
Coming into the easter holidays there will be quad bike and bicycle patrols being carried out throughout Stepps and the surrounding areas, specially targeting areas where youth disorder has previously been reported.

The Little Book of BIG SCAMS
*** Reporting Incidents via the Police Scotland 101 System ***
Residents concerned about local incidents, minor crime or disorder are encouraged to report via the non-emergency number 101. This can be done anonymously. It is important that incidents are reported and logged as this creates a record and evidence of an ongoing issue which may require additional resources.
Use the non-emergency number and call 101 for situations that do not require an immediate police response.
This will help keep 999 available when there is an emergency, for example, if a crime is taking place, or someone is in immediate danger – for these types of incidents, always call 999.
