Mobile phone thefts Herne Hill Station

I wanted to provide an update regarding Mobile phone theft, which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.

We are aware of the recent rise in groups targeting people near the Herne Hill Station area and attempting to steal mobile phones and other valuables. We will be increasing patrols of the station and town centre to try and tackle this problem along with British Transport Police. Please stay alert and look after your belongings.

If anyone has any further concerns and would like to speak to an officer one on one please feel free to approach officers when you see them or message us so we can arrange something for you.

 We are working on our brand-new strategy for how we police London and we want your help. Our New Met for London: Phase 2 strategy will guide how we deliver on behalf of Londoners over the next three years.
