DVLA sweep as part of Hedge End
CREW
A CREW (Crime Reduction Environment Week) in Hedge End kicked
off on Monday, November 17 with a DVLA sweep across Hedge End, West
End and Botley.
A total of 10 vehicles were identified by ANPR (Automatic
Number Plate Recognition) for having no tax and were clamped.
Five of the vehicles were released the same day after the
owner paid a fee of £260 and the cost of tax for the
vehicle.
PCSO Mica Coppin, PCSO Caroline Bodger and a representative
from Eastleigh Borough Council also delivered a talk to pupils at
St James Primary School in West End during the morning.
This covered 'stranger danger', criminal damage and
litter.
Hedge End Safer Neighbourhoods Sergeant Dave Tongs said: "It
was a very successful first day of the CREW. I hope that the DVLA
sweep sends a message to motorists that if they do not have valid
tax or insurance for their vehicle they will be prosecuted.

pupils and covered the main points of CREW, crime reduction and
environment issues."

had to be closed the following day for repairs. We believe the man
also had the intention of breaking into the ATMs through the roof
space, which is a very serious crime."
