Local Priorities Personal theft (e.g. pick pocketing, no violence used) Message

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.

Good Morning Heston East Residents we have been told that there has been a number of Pick Pocket incidents in Hounslow Town over the past few days where Mobile Phones and Purses containing Bank Cards and Cash have been taken while people are out shopping. We would advise that if you have a mobile phone to keep it secure in a bag or out of sight and do not give it to a young child where it can be dropped or taken out of their hands if attention is not kept on them. In regards to to Purses or Wallets taken please ensure bags are zipped and not left open and you keep wallets in your front pocket.

 We are working on our brand-new strategy for how we police London and we want your help. Our New Met for London: Phase 2 strategy will guide how we deliver on behalf of Londoners over the next three years, and we want to make sure you have had the chance to have your say. The consultation paper is available online, as well as a survey to let us know what you think. This closes on the 15 September.
