There is an open invitation for all local residents to come along and meet your local Safer Neighbourhoods Team (SNT).

Motor Vehicle Crime
We are aware that in the last couple of months there has been a rise in motor vehicle crime on our ward. We are committed to bringing this down but we are limited without your help. PLEASE follow these guidelines to keep your vehicle as safe and free from the risk of crime as possible:

- Don’t leave anything on display in your car such as ‘sat navs’ including its bracket, personal documents, loose change, mobile phones, laptops or other valuables.
- Wipe away suction pad marks from the windscreen, as thieves will look out for these.
- Take all your belongings with you when you leave the car, even if it’s only for a couple of minutes.
- Empty your glove compartment and leave the compartment
open to show that there is nothing of value inside.
- Lock all doors, windows and sunroofs. During the summer
months people easily forget to do this.
- Remove your stereo if possible and any CDs that are visible.

Mosque Tour
Members of The London Mosque along with PC Tanghe and
PCSO Brownlow took Hendon police students for a tour of the Mosque in Gressenhall Road. This was an opportunity for the students to ask questions and gain a better understanding of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community. This visit was aimed at improving the quality of service new officers will deliver to the many diverse London communities when responding to future incidents.



Drugs In The Lower Ashburton Estate
In June the combined resources of the East Putney SNT and a Territorial Support Group (TSG) Rapid Entry Team executed a drugs search warrant in Whitnell Way, SW15. Our team then undertook letter drops throughout the estate to both inform and reassure the local community regarding positive police action to
complaints received by the SNT from concerned residents regarding drug dealing.

Your Safer Neighbourhoods team is not a 24-hour emergency response team. 999 should always be used if there is any danger, or risk to life, or a crime is in progress.

To improve your access to all Metropolitan Police services in non-emergency situations, we have introduced a new easy to remember contact number: 0300 123 1212.

Visit the Met’s new crime mapping website and find out more about crime in your local area enabling you to take an active role in making your community safer, http://maps.met.police.uk/

If you have information about crime in your area and you’d rather not speak to the police, you can give information anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity.
