Here’s a quick update on drugs dealing crime in your area, please be reassured that we’re taking this seriously and are here to help. Met Engage Update – Tackling Drug-Related ASB
Following concerns raised by residents regarding drug-related anti-social behaviour in Pollard Close, Biddestone Park and the Lorraine Estate, your local Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) continue to carry out targeted patrols in these areas.
Officers have been conducting high-visibility patrols to identify those involved in criminality, provide reassurance to residents, and deter further anti-social behaviour. Intelligence gathered from the community is helping officers focus their activity on locations of concern and take appropriate enforcement action where offences are identified.
The SNT remains committed to addressing issues linked to drug use and associated ASB, working closely with partner agencies to improve the quality of life for local residents. Regular patrols will continue in Pollard Close, Biddestone Park, Lorraine Estate and surrounding areas, and officers will act on information received from the public.
We would like to thank residents who have reported concerns and encourage anyone with information about drug-related activity or anti-social behaviour to continue reporting it to police. Community intelligence plays a vital role in helping us target offenders and keep neighbourhoods safe.
Your local Holloway Ward SNT will continue proactive crime patrols in these areas and remain focused on tackling drug-related ASB and the issues affecting local residents.
 Drug dealing is often linked with violent crime and the exploitation of vulnerable people, and discarded drug equipment can be a health risk and counts as antisocial behaviour. We’ve put hundreds more officers on the frontlines of community crime-fighting teams, upping visible patrols in the right ‘hot spots’ so we can deter and catch criminals. We are committed to tackling drug dealing wherever we find it. It forms a key part of our recently published ASB Action Plan. We will keep you updated on our efforts to do this in your area, but if you have any concerns or evidence, it is important you report this as soon as possible. If you have experienced drug dealing in your area, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.met.police.uk 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 www.crimestoppers-uk.org |
