Dear residents, The team are currently working evening shifts this week up until (and including) Sunday 8th November to reduce the opportunities for anti-social use of fireworks which, to date, appears to be effective. They are patrolling on foot, on pedal cycles and motorcycles to ensure adequate coverage. Please feel free to engage with your officers if you see them on patrol. The current focus for the team is on burglary, theft from motor vehicle and theft of pedal cycle. As per the last update, by using simple crime prevention techniques such as using timer switches on lights and leaving radios on whilst you're out can prevent you being a victim of crime. Leave nothing on show in your vehicle such as sat navs, iPods and other small electrical items. If you are locking up your bike on public view you should use an insurance approved lock and take removable parts with you. An additional priority for the team is a new Dispersal Zone around Singleton Close, to try to combat anti-social behaviour against the residents. Since it's inception on 23rd October 2009, the reports of this type of behaviour has diminished. Why not try the new Crime Mapping website on met.police.uk? This will show you the spread of crime across your ward which is currently low. Regards Colliers Wood SNT 0208 721 2743 Collierswood.snt@met.police.uk
