Community Update: Arrest of Wanted Burglar

Here’s an update on burglary locally.

Our Safer Neighbourhood Team continues to take positive action against offenders wanted in our area. Yesterday, acting on local intelligence, neighbourhood officers identified and detained a male who was wanted for burglary offences. The male was subsequently arrested by officers and taken into custody. Following the arrest, the male has been recalled to prison.

This result highlights the value of information provided by residents and the proactive work being carried out by your local neighbourhood policing team to keep our communities safe.

Across London, we’re now arresting more than 1,000 extra criminals every month and seeing local crimes like burglary, robbery and theft start to fall, with ‘neighbourhood crime’ down 14%.

While we will continue to pursue burglars in the area, there are steps you can do to help keep your property safe. Please go to our website to find the latest advice and guidance on keeping yourself safe and protecting your home.

You can report an incident of burglary by using our online reporting tools at https://www.met.police.uk , speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101.
