South Tottenham crime statistics - August.

Good afternoon South Tottenham residents. 

I just wanted to provide you with a summary of the crime statistics for South Tottenham Ward for August:

The total number of offences recorded in August were 187. This is a decrease from 223 recorded in July.

There has been an increase in reported burglaries from 6 offences in July to 7 in August.

Personal Robbery has decreased from 8 offences in July down to 6 in August.

Theft offences are down from 95 in July to 76 in August.

Violence offences have remained the same with 30 offences recorded both July and August.

Motor Vehicle crime (theft from a vehicle) has reduced from 10 offences in July to 7 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 Engagement events.

Thank you.

Inspector Matt Bloomfield.
