Operation Focus - tackling illegal e-bikes, mopeds and associated offences in Woolwich

Dear Residents, 

Although Woolwich Town Centre sits outside our local ward area, crime and anti-social behaviour do not respect boundaries. Activity such as this has a positive impact across the wider Royal Borough of Greenwich and sends a clear message that offending on our roads and estates will not be tolerated.

On Thursday 17th September 2026 and Thursday 29th October 2026, officers coordinated two days of proactive enforcement as part of Operation FOCUS in Woolwich Town Centre.

Working alongside officers from Royal Greenwich Safer Neighbourhood Teams, Woolwich Town Centre Teams, Special Constabulary, the Home Office, Royal Borough of Greenwich Council and Vehicle Recovery & Evidential Service, the operation targeted illegal and dangerous use of two-wheeled vehicles, immigration offences and wider criminality linked to e-bikes and mopeds.

As well as enforcement, partners from the Council engaged with road users and members of the public, distributing high-visibility safety items and QR codes linking to road safety advice and funded training opportunities aimed at improving safety across the borough.

Kind regards

PCSO Watchorn
