Hermitage & Gardens crime statistics - August

Good afternoon Hermitage & Gardens residents. 

I just wanted to provide you with a summary of the crime statistics for Hermitage & Gardens Ward for August:

The total number of offences recorded were 83. This is a drop from 102 recorded in July.

There has been a total of 9 reported burglaries up from 6 offences in July.

Personal Robbery remains low with 1 offence recorded in July and 1 in August.

Theft offences are down from 22 in July to 17 in August. 

Violence offences remain at 22 for both July and August.

Motor Vehicle crime (theft from a vehicle) has reduced from 6 offences in July to 1 in August.

With Autumn now upon us and the nights drawing in, we historically see an increase in theft from person and robbery offences. When exiting public transport hubs please “Look up, Look out”, be aware of your surroundings and keep personal devices out of sight of potential thieves.  

The ward team continue to work hard to tackle offences highlighted above along with other neighbourhood issues. Please reach out to the team directly via Met Engage or come and meet the team in person at one of the pre arranged engagement events.

Thank you.

Inspector Matt Bloomfield.
