Police have been patrolling Leek over the last few days with the aim of tackling a range of issues raised by residents, including off-road bikes, nails and screws in the road and anti-social vehicle use.

Police were out and about in the town on Friday and documented their activities in a range of videos posted to the Moorlands Police social media pages.

The patrols come in response to a Facebook Live session held by local officers, where residents had the chance to report any concerns they had around the town.

A spokesperson for Staffordshire Police's Moorlands team explained what officers had got up to in their patrols.

They said: "PCSO Simcock has been on patrol in Compton area of Leek this afternoon following reports of anti-social use of vehicles."

Discussing the issue of off-road bikes, they added: "PCSO Long is on patrol in the Haregate estate.

"We will be paying extra attention to this area after you made us aware of issues with off-road bikes during our Facebook Live.

"You can send any information to @staffspolice or call CrimeStoppers anonymously."

And on the issue of nails and screws in the road, they added: "Following concerns raised during our Facebook Live event, PCSO Simcock has been out on patrol in and around the West Street area of Leek.

"He didn't spot any nails or screws in the road on this occasion, but your local officers are well aware of the issue and will continue to visit to reassure residents and address any issues.

"If you have any information or experience criminal damage or vehicle crime, please let us know by sending a private message to @StaffsPolice."
