Local Priorities - theft of and from motor vehicles

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding dangerous driving and speeding, which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.

We have received reports regarding theft of and from motor vehicle. We would like to remind residents to ensure your car doors are locked and store car keys away from the front door and we recommend devices/ storage boxes that prevent car jammer signals allowing the car key to be remotely activated.

If you would like any more crime prevention advice please contact us and we can arrange for our community officers to visit and guide you further.

If someone is driving a motor vehicle, they should always be doing so in a safe and considerate manner. Even momentary lapses in judgement can have life changing or devastating consequences for those in the vehicle or innocent bystanders. 

Activities such as street racing, cruising or performing tricks can count as anti-social behaviour. If you are concerned about this in your area, visit our website for the latest guidance and how you can report this. You can also report dangerous driving in your area. 

We are working on our brand-new strategy for how we police London and we want your help. Our New Met for London: Phase 2 strategy will guide how we deliver on behalf of Londoners over the next three years.
