Local Theft Update.

Local Theft Update.

Here’s a quick update on personal theft and what’s being done locally to address it.

Dear Courtfield residents.
Please be aware when ordering goods / parcels to be delivered. Please make sure you are going to be available to receive these items.
We have had reports of people looking at parcels unattended left outside front doors.
Alternative way of receiving your items is to get them delivered to a safe place "post lockers" or neighbour.

The Met is cracking down on street crime by putting hundreds more officers on the frontlines of community crime-fighting teams, upping visible patrols in the right ‘hot spots’ so we can deter and catch criminals.

Having personal items or money stolen from you is an upsetting experience. If you have been a victim, it is important that you report these crimes to us as early as possible, to give us the best chance possible to investigate this fully. These reports help us build a picture of hot spot areas where we can spend more time, deterring and arresting thieves. 

Remember to: 

• Be aware of your surroundings – only take out valuables if you feel it’s safe. 
• Do not leave valuable items unattended.
• Make sure any bags you have are not left unattended and are closed securely.
