Proactive patrols taking place daily

Your local neighbourhood team has been out on patrol today, patrolling the confines of Abbey Ruins as well as Barking Market in an attempt to deter ASB and crime within the vicinity

If you do see anything suspicious or feel you need help with an enquiry please let us know on Met Engage.

There was a shoplifter arrested on the 28th of August 2025 for shoplifting from a store within the market, luckily the local officers were on patrol and managed to detain, search and arrest the offender in a swift and timely matter. 

Thank you all for your questions and we do appreciate the response we are getting on Met engage thus far. 

Regards,

PCSO Pocknell - 7779EA
