Person committing criminal damage including graffiti, and other ASB

Dear residents.

We are aware of an individual who has been seen on numerous occasions, writing on walls with chalk and permanent markers. She has also been witnessed removing items of low value including shoes and a coat from the outside of homes. On other occasions, the same individual has been reported to us as having posted leaves, sweet wrappers and cigarette ends through a letterbox.

I would like to reassure residents that this individual is very much on our radar, and will be offered help and support to stop these acts. Failing this, we are looking at more policing avenues as the reports that we've had are numerous.

If you have had something like this happen to you, please report online here - Report a crime | Metropolitan Police

Or if it's something you have just witnessed, you can do so here - Something you've seen or heard | Metropolitan Police

While the things on their own are quite small, added together they are numerous, and we are just going on what has been reported to us. Our PCSOs patrolled today and found multiple other areas of people's property that have been defaced.

If you would like to email us about this, please do so on - sntvw-.mertonpark@met.police.uk

Thank you,

Merton Park Team
