Local Priorities Anti Social Behaviour Update

Please review the following update regarding Anti Social Behaviour which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.

 

Hello Everyone,

Just another update from us:

Last week the team attended Croydon Magistrates court to obtain a part closure order on a property on Chaucer ward that was attracting ASB and crime. We were given a part closure order which allows the resident to remain in the property while not allowing the people mostly causing the problems access. If the issue does not stop we can return to court and ask for a full closure to the property. A closure order is when the police can get enough evidence that a property is attracting crime and ASB and having an adverse effect on the other residents. We were supported by the people being affected by this and without that we would not have been able to get this far. Please report all ASB issues on the Met Police website.

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. A full list of what we categorise as antisocial behaviour is available on our website.  

If you have witnessed or experienced antisocial behaviour, you can report it online.

If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.met.police.uk/, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101.  

Alternatively, you can stay 100% anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org.
