The team responded to an immediate call to vicinity to address fight in progress. Following investigation it was found a robbery had been committed in Barking Park, and a male was arrested after being positively identified, by the team. The male was conveyed to custody. Victim was supported and victim care provided.

Further engagement and visibility at a range of locations identified further outcomes linked to 7 stop and search, 1 intelligence report and lots of engagement with residents in Barking Park.

Further patrols will continue throughout the summer period in key locations working with local community and local authority throughout.

Further patrols planned for Ice House and Hepworth Gardens over next week. Barking and Mayesbrook Parks will remain a key focus for the teams over next few weeks.

Antisocial behaviour can come in many forms and can require support from more organisations than just the police. There are 13 different types of antisocial behaviour that we may be able to help with, including abandoned vehicles, littering or drugs paraphernalia and street drinking.
