Police Actions

We have been busy this week and arrested a four wanted people. Most notably, we ran a Drugs dop operation at Canning Town Station with other SNTs which resulted in: 

24 drug seizures

4 arrests (including one for possession of weapons)

And I’m happy to report that burglaries are still down in Custom House. 

General Advise

Please keep your eyes up and not on your phone when standing at a bus stop or walking down the street.

If you do live in a block, look after your neighbours’ packages and drop them at their door if you can. 

Please keep your cars empty of all personal belongings once you’ve parked up.

Until Next Week
