Local Priorities Anti Social Behaviour Message

Please review the following update regarding Anti Social Behaviour which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.

 

We have been made aware of youths with catapults firing at the wildlife in the park.
The primary legislation protecting wild birds in the UK is the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
It is an offence to intentionally or recklessly commit any of the following:
1 Protection of wild birds, their nests and eggs.
(1) Subject to the provisions of this Part, if any person intentionally—
(a) kills, injures or takes any wild bird;

18 Attempts to commit offences etc.
(1) Any person who attempts to commit an offence under the foregoing provisions of this Part shall be guilty of an offence and shall be punishable in like manner as for the said offence.
(2) Any person who for the purposes of committing an offence under the foregoing provisions of this Part, has in his possession anything capable of being used for committing the offence shall be guilty of an offence and shall be punishable in like manner as for the said offence.

We have up'ed our patrols of the parks and will continue to patrol the areas.

We would appreciate if you see incidents like these happen that you report it to us on here.

Antisocial behaviour can come in many forms and can require support from more organisations than just the police. There are 13 different types of antisocial behaviour that we may be able to help with, including abandoned vehicles, littering or drugs paraphernalia and street drinking. A full list of what we categorise as antisocial behaviour is available on our website.  

If you have witnessed or experienced antisocial behaviour, you can report it online.

If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.met.police.uk/, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101.  

Alternatively, you can stay 100% anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org.
