Social Media Posts.

Bexley Police response to Social Media posts relating to "Bexley Wars"

“We’re aware of social media posts circulating and are in close contact with schools across several London boroughs to offer reassurance.

“Officers will maintain a strong, visible presence around schools, and will respond firmly to any reports of violence or disorder.

“We continue to closely monitor online spaces and have worked with platforms to request a dozen social media accounts to be disabled where threats or violence were planned or encouraged.

“I would like to remind young people of the serious consequences of getting involved in matters like this.  An arrest, charge and conviction for violence and carrying weapons could mean imprisonment with a significant long-term impact on future opportunities.”

If you as our communities have intelligence or information in regards to this worrying trend then Please contact Police on 101 or Crime stoppers.  

As your local police we are monitoring the situation closely and working with partners and across the SE BCU  to keep our communities safe.
