Outstanding Result for Northwood & Northwood Hills!

Dear Residents,

We’re proud to share a fantastic outcome following a team effort to tackle serious offending in our community.

Last year, a number of shoplifting incidents were reported where staff were threatened during the offences. Initially, there wasn’t enough evidence to take these cases forward, but we weren’t prepared to leave it there. 

PC Younie took ownership of the investigation, supported by the wider team, and together they built a strong case. PCSOs Hyder, Usher and Humphries worked closely with local businesses to secure CCTV, gather vital information, and support witnesses. 

PCs Riaz and Forse then arrested the suspect, Peter Morgan, in challenging circumstances and carried out a thorough investigation in custody.

Thanks to persistence, teamwork, and determination, a full robbery case was put together and authorised by the CPS. Despite attempts to avoid justice, the overwhelming evidence meant the offender pleaded guilty to all three counts.

Result: Sentenced at Isleworth Crown Court to 4.5 years in prison

Additional Order: Banned from entering Waitrose and Tesco stores

This result sends a clear message: we will not tolerate violence or intimidation in our community, and we will work relentlessly to bring offenders to justice.

 A huge well done to everyone involved and thank you to our local businesses for your support.
