Reporting Nuisance Vehicles.

FROM PCSO RICHARD BRADLEY

When reporting a nuisance vehicle please see the advice below -

The Time/ Day/ Date/ Location of the incident

• Names of or if unknown, a description of the offender, as full as possible, including clothing.
• Any vehicle markings, such as registration numbers and a full description of the vehicle, including make/ model/ vehicle type, colour, any distinctive markings or damage.
• If images (stills or CCTV) can be obtained at no risk to the informant, please email these to your local officer or CSU.dover@kent.police.uk

If this is reported through 101 or an online report VIA the Kent Police website, Kent Police are aware of the nuisance this is causing. If then witnessed by a uniformed officer, a section 59 warning can be issued. The first part of a section 59 is a warning, a warning is issued if the driver has been seen driving without due care and attention or without reasonable consideration for others. Also, they were causing or likely to cause, alarm, distress or annoyance to others. If the driver is seen again by a uniformed officer within 12 months, committing a similar offence, there vehicle will be seized and they will be charged for recovery and storage of the vehicle.

• Kent Police are working with your community to tackle anti-social behaviour and improve public safety.
• Regarding noise complaints, please contact Dover District Council, environmental health.
