VAWG is of concern on the borough as a whole. Royal Albert Ward has transport hubs with DLR stations, open space areas, hotels and a University campus.

High Visibility Patrols

Theft of high value vehicles and work vans being broken into to steal tools accounts for the majority of reported crime on the ward. The hotspot locations for these are hotel car parks.

Covert Operations to target this problem

The ward is blighted by drug use and dealing and the ASB that goes hand in hand with this. Hotspot areas for this are ROYAL ALBERT WHARF / ROEBOURNE WAY / DREW ROAD.

Overt and Covert patrols to target this issue.
