Combatting ASB and Shoplifting in Wallington

Combatting ASB and Shoplifting in Wallington

Here’s a quick update on anti-social behaviour locally. We know it can be distressing, but we’re working closely with partners to make the area safer and support residents. 
 

Good Afternoon Wallington South Resident,

A busy day for the local team - 25,000 steps walking around the ward resulting in three positive stop and searches which are as follows;

2x Stopped for cannabis possession
1x Stopped for shoplifting from local businesses.

We will share more with the community as and when we can but wanted to share a quick update with the community.

Its another good day of results as we continue to combat the issues impacting our local community.

Across London we’ve put hundreds more officers on the frontlines of community crime-fighting teams, upping visible patrols in the right ‘hot spots’ so we can deter and catch criminals - including with new tech like live facial recognition cameras, drones and e-bikes. 

Antisocial behaviour can come in many forms and can require support from more organisations than just the police. A full list of what we categorise as antisocial behaviour is available on our website.  

If you have experienced anti-social behaviour or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.met.police.uk 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 www.crimestoppers-uk.org
