Targeting Theft in the street occurring in Canonbury, we aim to reduce these further and target those carrying this crime.

Action

Carry out high visibility patrols in areas affected by theft – particularly along Essex Road in order to deter would-be offenders. Patrols in area will also build relationships with those who live/work in the area and reassure residents.

This is currently a force-wide focus as the Met aims to attend all burglary calls in a timely manner. The area around St Paul’s Road is a focal point for this, and we aim to raise awareness of burglary and home safety issues.
