Operation on Kings Road

Today Chelsea Safer Neighbourhood Officers were working with our colleagues from Kensington on an Operation on The Kings Road and Earls Court.

We were working with the support of The Home Office Immigration Department.

High visibility patrols in the areas on foot and on cycles resulted in good results.

Reminding cyclists that the highway code applies to them seems to come as a surprise to them. As does the warning or fine they get.

As word got around that we were there, cyclists stopped cycling on the pavement and managed to observe traffic lights.

4 arrests were made for Immigration offences

1 shoplifter was detained in Waitrose

2 vehicles were seized. 1 for no insurance and 1 illegal e-bike

1 van decided it was a good idea to park on Zig Zag lines and received a fine. ‘I’m moving now, I haven't been long' is not a good defence.

ASB warnings issued.

These Operations will continue on our wards.

Thanks to all the residents who came up to say hello.
