West Green crime statistics - August

Good afternoon West Green residents. 

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

The total number of offences recorded in August was 115. This is a decrease from 124 recorded in July.

There has been a decrease in reported burglaries from 6 offences in July to 3 in August.

Personal Robbery has seen a slight increase from 6 offences in July down to 8 in August.

Theft offences are up from 21 in July to 32 in August. 

Violence offences have decreased with 36 offences recorded in July and 24 in August.

Motor Vehicle crime (theft from a vehicle) has reduced from 5 offences in July to 4 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.
