This evening, Rick covered most of Rush Green before venturing onto the Parkside beat over the course of more than 4 hours, but the night was underpinned by two residential burglaries in the RM7 postcode (10.10 miles).
"This is usually the part where I left you know where the team have been patrolling, but the two break-ins tonight were disappointing for me and understandably distressing for the families directly affected.
The ward has a strong record when it comes to burglary, twice recording London's lowest rate, but tonight was the opposite of what we're out there trying to achieve."
