Local Priorities Personal theft (e.g. pick pocketing, no violence used) Message

I wanted to provide you an update regarding Personal theft (e.g. pick pocketing, no violence used), which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.

There has been a recent increase in the number of offences of theft pickpocketing on the local transport networks and around the stations on Wood Lane. Operations are in place to combat this in and around Westfield shopping centre and the stations around it.

 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.
