Highgate SNT Day of Action Addressing ASB and Drug‑Related Activity

Dear Highgate Residents, 

Hope you are doing well, 

I would like to make you aware of our day of action on 21 March 2026, which was conducted to address anti‑social behaviour (ASB) and drug‑related offences, as these remain key priorities and concerns within the ward. The Highgate Safer Neighbourhoods Team: PC HAMMER-BAILEY, PC AMADO & PCSO DEMIRCAN carried out stop‑and‑search activities during the operation, resulting in three individuals being searched for suspected drugs. The individuals were found to be in possession of drug paraphernalia.

These 3 individuals were subsequently issued an Anti social behaviour warning and then moved off from the area.

An anti‑social behaviour (ASB) warning is an early formal notice given to someone whose behaviour has caused – or is likely to cause – harassment, alarm, or distress to others. It is usually the first step authorities (police, local councils, or housing providers) take before moving on to more serious measures.

Antisocial behaviour can come in many forms and can require support from more organisations than just the police. There are 13 different types of antisocial behaviour that we may be able to help with, including abandoned vehicles, littering or drugs paraphernalia and street drinking. A full list of what we categorise as antisocial behaviour is available on our website. 

We hope the information above is useful and addresses to some degree the concerns that you have raised. If you have experienced this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.met.police.uk, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101. 

Alternatively, you can stay 100% anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org.

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, and we want to make sure you have had the chance to have your say. 

You may also want to rate this message to let us know if this information was useful or not or use the system to change which issues we update you about, you can do these things quickly and easily by logging in or keep an eye out for the periodic survey reminders.
