Operation Crackdown
 Help us crack down on abandoned vehicles and anti-social driving.
Sussex Police are leading a pioneering partnership which employs the latest technology to provide an easy to use facility for Sussex residents to report abandoned vehicles or an act of anti-social driving.
Operation Crackdown is a multi-agency facility with two key aims:
- Reducing the amount of time vehicles remain abandoned (saving significant costs in the process).
- Targeting persistent bad drivers before they cause an accident.
We know there are problems in parts of Sussex. With your help we can tackle the inconsiderate people who continue to drive in an anti-social manner or abandon their end-of-life vehicles.
You can tell us about any abandoned vehicle or anti-social driving you’ve
witnessed using the Operation Crackdown website.
What exactly constitutes anti-social driving?
There is no strict definition. However typical examples of anti-social driving might include speeding, thoughtless or reckless driving, under-age driving, drink driving, tailgating, using a mobile phone whilst driving, driving a vehicle which looks to be in an unsafe condition.
What should I do if I see an abandoned vehicle or someone driving in an anti-social manner?
- Pull over safely at the side of the road or ask a passenger to write down details.
- Note the vehicle’s make, model, colour and number plate (which will help with police enquiries).
- When noting the location, use house numbers and road names to pinpoint where the incident happened or where you spotted a potential abandoned vehicle.
- Write a brief description of what you witnessed, while it is still fresh in your mind.
- If
it’s an abandoned vehicle, if possible take a digital picture of it.
When you get to work or home, visit the Operation Crackdown website to record
your information. It only takes a few minutes!
Your information will be analysed and appropriate action will be taken, if necessary, by Sussex Police.
Remember
Do not attempt to write anything down whilst driving. Don’t add to the problem!

free to use the image upload facility to include a picture of the abandoned
vehicle (images will need to be jpeg format and not more than 500kb).
For both abandoned vehicles and anti-social driving you will be asked to provide
details about the vehicle and location. Please complete as many questions as
you can - the more information you give us, the better.
