I wanted to provide you with an update regarding burglary, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey. Several arrests made across Pinner, Pinner South and North Harrow wards as local police target prolific offenders.
Your local Safer Neighbourhood Team officers covering Pinner, Pinner South and North Harrow wards have made several key arrests over the past month, tackling drug dealing, burglary and theft offences in the area.
Two recent warrants executed in Pinner South ward resulted in two arrests, one conviction for drugs offences and a firearm seized.
Recently, officers arrested, charged, and remanded a prolific male burglar. The individual pleaded guilty in court and has now been sentenced to 12 weeks in prison.
The team continued their efforts with further arrests. A prolific female offender was arrested for theft, followed just minutes later by a second arrest—this time a person already known to the local team and wanted in connection with a theft from a motor vehicle.
These arrests highlight the commitment and dedication by your Safer Neighbourhoods Team in Harrow, utilising local knowledge combined with a data driven approach to target the right people and making local communities across Harrow a safer place for all.
Residents are encouraged to stay updated with local police activity by signing up to MetEngage, the Metropolitan Police’s community engagement platform.
 While we will continue to pursue burglars in the area, there are steps you can do to help keep your property safe. Make sure that you: Double lock your door every time you leave the house If you can, move garden furniture or bins away from windows so that thieves cannot use them to gain access. Use laminated glass or security film on ground floor and accessible windows. Use a sash stop if you have sash windows to prevent people opening them enough to climb through. If your windows open outwards, use a key operated lock – check these are locked before leaving the house. Make sure all valuables are out of sight. Keep handbags and keys away from letterboxes or cat flaps. In the evening shut the curtains and leave lights on. Set your burglar alarm Lock your shed or garage Mark, register or record your valuables.
