Priorities - Violence against women and girls Concern Update

I wanted to provide an update regarding Violence against women and girls, which members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.

This week Preston Officers worked closely with our CID colleagues following a report that a unknown male was repeatedly stalking a 16 year old victim and attending her home address.

Through joint working, Preston Officers were able to link this male to other concerning incidents and swiftly identified the suspect effecting his arrest on Preston Road. This proactive response demonstrates our local knowledge and continued commitment to tackling Violence Against Women and Girls.

Thankfully these types of incidents are rare within Preston. However if you have been a victim of crime or have concerns regarding anything linked to Violence Against Women Girls please raise your concerns and we will take action.

 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.
