• Burglary
Burglary on the ward is decreasing. Compared to this time last year burglaries are down. We are constantly identifying burglars and disrupting there activity to prevent further offences and the damage it has on victims lives. We continue to visit those victims who have been burgled to provide reassurance and to seize any cctv footage at an early stage of the investigation so that if the suspect is identified by officers they are apprehended at the earliest opportunity. With this we try to attach criminal behaviour orders or community protection warnings/notices against the suspects identified in order for them to stop this criminal behaviour as it has a significant impact on the victims

Anti Social Behaviour and drugs
Anti-social behaviour is an issue across London. There are some hotspot areas, which the SNT are aware of where people loiter and use drugs. Working closely with the local authority enables them to challenge these individuals and to provide them with strong words of advice. If there anti-social behaviour continues, they will be receive a formal warning. The team also conduct days of actions with the local authority. Any continued anti-social behaviour issues the team will look at taking action to known individuals that keep causing problems, this could be from issuing community protection warnings, community protection notices and criminal behaviour orders. Drug use is the main concern where it is suspected that drug users commit crime in order to fund their drug habit. We are working closely with services that can support drug users so that they can receive the necessary help.

Issued 10 July 2025

Work with local authority and charities such as St Mungo's to help house the drug users and provide any safeguarding if necessary.
