I wanted to provide you an update regarding Violent crime, which members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey. Hello All,
I hope you are all doing well on this Sunday Morning. I am contacting you all in relation to the incident that occurred at OLIVER BONAS SW6 at 1640hrs yesterday. At this time I can tell you that a shoplifter has entered the store and attempted to steal from the store and produced a weapon. The shoplifter has then attempted to hold store members hostage where security guard has intervened and stop the assailant receiving no serious injuries. Officers have arrived on scene shortly after and arrested the the male for serious offences and is currently in police custody awaiting interview.
I will keep you all updated with the outcome at the end of today. If anyone witnessed the event take place please contact 101 saying that you have witnessed the actual incident as it may be of use to the investigation.
We will be doing reassurance patrols on top of our normal patrols over the next couple days in case members of the community are concerned or have any further questions.
 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. |
