I wanted to provide you an update regarding Personal theft (e.g. pick pocketing, no violence used), which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.

Today Longlands Safer Neighborhood team with help from SIDCUP and ST Mary, ST James safer neighborhood teams arrested a male for theft and a fraud offences after it was alleged a wallet, and bank card, and headphones where stolen. The bank card was then used at local nearby shops to purchase items.
