I wanted to provide an update regarding the theft of motor vehicles, which members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey. 🚔 Vehicle Theft Success in Maida Vale
Officers from the Maida Vale Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) have successfully recovered three stolen vehicles as part of a proactive investigation into vehicle theft offences affecting the local area.
Following enquiries by the team, an individual was arrested on suspicion of offences connected to these thefts. The investigation remains ongoing.
We are particularly pleased that one of the recovered vehicles had been stolen from the Maida Vale ward, allowing it to be returned to its rightful owner.
This result demonstrates our continued commitment to tackling vehicle crime, identifying offenders, and supporting victims across our neighbourhoods.
If you have information about vehicle crime or suspicious activity in your area, please report it to police via 101, online, or call 999 in an emergency.

 We know that people can be concerned about the personal and financial impact of having their vehicle stolen, which is why we will pursue and arrest those who break the law. Please consider taking the following steps to keep your vehicle safe: Check that your vehicle is locked and secure every time you leave it. Thieves often look for easy opportunities to steal from vehicles. They will usually try the handles until they get lucky and find one that has been left unlocked. Keep your keys safe, out of view when at home and away from your front door. If you have a keyless entry vehicle, keep the key well away from the vehicle while at home and turn off wireless signals on your fob when its not being used. Consider putting the keys in a screened or signal blocking pouch, such as a Faraday Bag and check that it is still working every few months. Park your vehicle in a private garage if you can. If you don’t have access to one, try to park in a well –lit open space. Try to use public car parks that are part of the police approved Park Mark safer parking scheme. Secure your number plates with tamper resistant screws to avoid them being stolen and used by others.
