Dear residents, Colliers Wood Safer Neighbourhoods Team is continuing to work on the ward priorities of burglary, theft from motor vehicles and theft of pedal cycles. The recent crime figures for August show both burglary and theft from motor vehicle have fallen right down. In July the ward was in the top 4 on the borough for both of these crimes, we are now 11th for theft from motor vehicle (with 4 offences) and 14th for burglary (with 3 offences). This is down to great work from the team who have been patrolling the ward daily, identifying vulnerable vehicles and premises and alerting the owners to the opportunities for crime to happen. We continue to reduce theft of pedal cycle by educating residents and marking bikes for people who come along to our free sessions. We’ll let you know when we’re holding the next session as we aim to mark as many bikes as possible to help combat this type of crime. The next busy time for the team is Halloween. We’ll be working hard over the period trying to disrupt ASB as much as possible although the last year was very quiet with mainly families enjoying the evening peacefully together. We can provide posters for households to display who do not want trick or treaters calling at the door. If you or anyone you know would be interested in these, please let us know and we’ll drop a poster round to you.
