Department for Work and Pensions joint working

APS/ Dan Thomas

On Wednesday 13 May, officers from the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), working in partnership with the Department for Work and Pensions, executed a warrant in Hornchurch.

The operation was successful and highlights the importance of strong partnership working. By collaborating closely with other agencies, we are better equipped to identify, target, and disrupt criminal activity within our communities.

Local residents should feel reassured that this type of action reflects the ongoing commitment of your Safer Neighbourhood Teams, who work proactively with partner organisations to tackle and dismantle criminal networks.

This is a live investigation, and at this time we are unable to provide further details.

We encourage anyone who suspects criminal activity within their community to report it. You can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, call 101 for non-emergencies, or dial 999 if a crime is in progress.
