Robbery Concern - Homefarm rd/Westcott crescent

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

On Saturday 14th February 2026 at approximately 1100hrs between Homefarm Road and Westcott crescent, A DPD van which was delivering at an address on the Homefarm road was attacked by 4 males wearing all black and balaclavas. The 4 males exited a Red Hatchback and forced the driver to hand over his personal possessions and took several postal items from the van. The males then entered there vehicle and were tracked along Home farm road, to Greenford Ave where they were lost.

Please can residents who lives along these roads check your CCTV to see if you have any footage of the vehicle number plate or potential direction they went in.
