Hello everyone 👋🏻 🚔

I'm PC 3353 Twitchett and I'm excited to introduce myself as the new Community Beat Officer (CBO) for Milnthorpe & Arnside.

I've already had the pleasure of meeting a few business owners and residents in the areas of Milnthorpe & Arnside with some of you voicing local issues and concerns.

For the past four years of my policing career I have worked in Kendal Response and then Windermere & Ambleside Response where I have enjoyed becoming a proactive police officer, widening my knowledge and experience.

My priorities are to:
🔎 Identifying and addressing local concerns, taking a proactive approach in dealing with them
đź‘€ Be visible and accessible, you will find me out on foot patrol and in drop in clinics in the area to talk to, whilst also maintaining a mobile policing presence
🤝 Build relationships within the local community, I look forward to working with our partners within the local council, business owners

I look forward to meeting you all and making a positive impact in the area.

KENDAL THEFTS - CONVICTION & IMPRISONMENT

Following his arrest on 24th September, Stanley Perry (34) of Widnes, Cheshire has appeared in Court via video link and has been jailed for 18 weeks.

Perry was arrested having been identified as a suspect in the theft of a bike from a school in Kendal in June. During the theft he used tools to remove security locks and used the rail network to take the bike out of the county. The bike has never been recovered.

Whilst in Custody at Kendal Police Station we were able to identify that the jacket he was wearing was also stolen property. Checks identified that the jacket had been stolen on September 3rd 2026 from an international visitor at Coral Island Amusement Centre in Blackpool. Kendal NPT Officers locating CCTV which showed the theft being committed.

Perry was also arrested following the attempted theft of items from Lidl in Kendal on 24th September.

Perry pleaded guilty to all of the charges and was jailed for 18 weeks. The Neighbourhood Team requested that the Court impose a Criminal Behaviour order on him to reduce his ability to commit similar offences and limit his ability travel to Kendal to commit future crime. The CBO has been granted for two years and states Perry:
❌ Must NOT enter Kendal
❌ Must NOT enter Oxenholme
❌ Must NOT have tools in his possession outside of his home address
❌ Must have written proof of ownership for any bike in his possession

We continue to offer free bike marking using BikeRegister QR product. You can drop into Kendal Police Station Enquiry Desk during opening hours to have your bike marked or keep an eye out for one of our local marking events.
