A new policing initiative, Community and Neighbourhood Directed Operation (Cando) in Risca, has contributed to the lowering of anti-social driving on the town's roads.

The week-long operation saw the Safer Caerphilly Partnership join forces with the Risca Neighbourhood Policing Team, special constables and community safety wardens to work towards stamping out the anti-social use of vehicles.

Police have reported a string of results from Cando including the seizure of four vehicles without car insurance, three DVLA traffic offences reported, 12 warnings and two tickets issued for speeding.

Sergeant Simon Clark of Risca's Neighbourhood Policing Team said: "Residents should be reassured that we are working proactively to prevent criminal activity in the area and those who continue to commit crime will be dealt with robustly."

Meanwhile, a Department for Transport report published earlier this week has revealed that British roads are getting safer.

The number of drivers stopped without car insurance has dropped to 1.2 per cent while the amount of vehicles without a current MOT fell by 2.7 per cent.
