Current Priorities

Issue

Reducing Violent Crime as a Pan London objective working in conjunction with local residents and businesses to focus on hotspots areas and identified individuals

Action

High visibility patrols with partner agencies and female members of the public.
Arrest Enquiries for wanted offenders with arrests made.

Issue

Lower Addiscombe Road and surrounding residential roads were noted for an increase in begging, street drinking and ASB

Action

SNT officers have increased patrols in locations, with the use of Community Protection Warnings, referrals for homeless and substance misusers along with arrests for wanted offenders which has led to a reduction in begging and street drinking.
SNT officers also worked with the council to close two properties linked to a number of ASB issues in the ward.

Issue

There has been concerns regarding a number of theft/shoplifting offences at local businesses along Lower Addiscombe Road with residents and store workers in fear for safety

Action

Addiscombe East SNT have been involved in operations to identify and arrest suspects involved in shoplifting. This has led to numerous arrests with suspects remanded to appear at court the next day. The use of orders to impose restrictions on suspects movement has also led to those linked to offences being arrested for further offences with some suspects being arrested and recalled to prison
