CHARGE | On 2nd November a male from St Austell appeared at Cornwall Magistrates Court charged with breaching his Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO).

The CBO was issued by Cornwall Magistrates Court in 2026 to prevent and deter offending.

The CBO imposed strict conditions including restricting him from calllng 999 for non emergency reasons. Over the course of 11 days in October the male was identified as allegedly calling the police, ambulance service and Coastguard on 999 on 38 occasions for non emergency reasons. The neighbourhood team subsequently arrested, charged and remanded the male to court on 2nd November.

The male was bailed from court for a further hearing on 4th December. We will update you with any court results once we receive them.

HALLOWEEN | The Neighbourhood Team will be out on patrol for the Halloween celebrations tomorrow evening. Whilst it is a generally good natured evening, there are a minority of individuals who do not act in a respectful and considerate way to other members of their community.

If you are a young person out trick or treating or a parent / adult supervising children please be considerate and kind to those who might be distressed by strangers knocking at their door during the evening, especially the elderly or those who are vulnerable.

Please stick to houses of people you know or those who are open to having a trick or treater. As a rule of thumb, if they’ve got decorations outside their house then they’ll probably be open to trick or treaters. If the curtains are closed and the house is dark, please keep on walking.

We hope that everyone taking part has an enjoyable evening. Feel free to say hello to us if you see us out and about – we are not that scary looking!

Halloween 🎃 | Make it a treat for everyone 👻

Have a good time this Saturday, just remember that not everyone celebrates Halloween and may not want people coming to their door trick or treating.

Some people, particularly the elderly and vulnerable, may get worried or even frightened if strangers are continually calling at their door during the evening. It can also disturb babies, young children and nervous dogs and cats.

So please respect those who don’t want to take part in trick or treating, and stick to areas and people you know.

If you welcome trick or treaters, or if you’d rather they didn’t come knocking, you can download and print posters for your window that lets them know either way from our website 👉 https://orlo.uk/LfuXY

There’s a colour “Sorry – no trick or treat” poster, and a black and white printer friendly version. You’ll also find a colour “Welcome Halloween callers with children in costume” poster, and a version of that to colour in.

Retailers: you can also download a poster which lets people know that the sale of eggs and flour will be at your discretion.

We have had reports of young people in playing on electric sub stations in Bugle.

The roof of the sub stations are fibreglass and the weight of a person standing or walking on the roof may cause it to break.

There is the real risk of injury and electrocution from falling into the interior of the sub stations which contain live electrical equipment.

If you are the parents or guardians of these young people, please take responsibility to know where they are playing and discourage them from playing near sub stations.

PAR TRACK | We have been in contact with staff at the track about large numbers of young people congregating around the cafe area in the evenings which has caused concern for staff and users. A minority have been seen behaving in an anti social manner.

We have been conducting patrols and have spoken to young people congregating there . The majority have been good natured and amicable with us.

We understand that the track's facilities makes it a good spot for young people to socialise.

We would ask if you are a young person socialising at the track please show respect and understanding to staff and visitors.

It is a much valued spot for the community. Ourselves and staff at the track want all users to enjoy and feel safe using the facilities.

💊 Check an online pharmacy is registered when buying medicine online

Thousands of fake online pharmacies are operating that sell fake or unsafe medicines such as weight loss drugs that don’t work or are harmful to your health. They may be cheap, but it’s not worth the risk.

Before you buy, take a moment to check the pharmacy is registered, so you can be confident you will get medicines that are safe and right for you. All legitimate pharmacies in Great Britain have to be registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council.

✅ Look for the pharmacy’s registration details on the website
✅ Search for them on the official pharmacy register at the link below

It’s a simple step that will help protect your health.
