Keeping Kingsthorpe safe

We've launched a new campaign across the Kingsthorpe area of Northampton to empower residents to speak out 100% anonymously about crime.

Working in partnership with Northamptonshire Police, we're encouraging local people to report concerns about neighbourhood and retail crime, including shoplifting, as well as burglaries, robberies and thefts and serious offences linked to organised criminal activity, such as drugs and exploitation. 

We're also highlighting the growing threat of organised criminal gangs who exploit and groom vulnerable people, particularly young people, into drug trafficking and other criminal activities through intimidation, manipulation, and false promises of money and possessions.

Do you have information about these or other crimes? You can tell us what you know and remain 100% anonymous - no one will ever know you were in touch with us. We take Information 24/7, 365 days a year, in more than 150 languages.

Just call free, any time, on 0800 555 111, or fill in our secure online form, here on our website:

Give information anonymously

Look out for our ad van, touring the area on Saturday November 8.

The campaign follows a recent study tour carried out by Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Danielle Stone and her team, which identified local needs and priorities. The findings have informed ongoing work to make communities safer.

Danielle Stone commented:

“The Kingsthorpe Study Tour was a chance for decision makers and problem solvers, who know the area well, to come together and tell me what they wanted to see to improve safety where they live.  

“By having a visible ad van and marketing campaign in prominent spots across Kingsthorpe, I hope residents will understand there can be a different route to help them report a crime.

“We know some people may feel fear, shame or lack confidence speaking up - by reporting to Crimestoppers they can still help the police keep their communities protected whilst staying anonymous.”
