Suspicious Circumstances - Individuals reported to be scoping out addresses in West Putney

Dear West Putney residents,

Concerns have been made to the West Putney Safer Neighbourhood Team regarding a group of males, presumed to be homeless, knocking on doors within the West Putney area and potentially scoping out the addresses they are interacting with. 

If you have witnessed or have recorded any video or pictures of those individuals knocking on your door, please let us know via Met Engage or E-Mail (westputney@met.police.uk) so that we can collect evidence and identify them, please make sure to attach dates and times to the message if your CCTV does not do so automatically.

Please also be cautious if someone is knocking on your door/ringing your doorbell, as it may be those same individuals. Make sure to first see who is at your door by looking through your door viewer or through CCTV/Video doorbell if possible. We would recommend to read through the information provided on the Met Police Crime Prevention Advice website in regards to burglary prevention, which can be found here.

If you would like to report a crime call 101, in an emergency always call 999. If you would like to report online, click on this link: https://www.met.police.uk/ro/report

Kind regards,

West Putney Safer Neighbourhoods Team
