I wanted to provide an update regarding the theft of motor vehicles, which members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey. Good morning all,
It has come to officers' attention that on 06/11/2026, a theft of a motor vehicle occurred on Faversham Avenue, EN1, between 01:00hrs and 01:45hrs.
The vehicle stolen was a grey Toyota Hilux, registration FB11 NAS.
As part of ongoing enquiries, officers are seeking information regarding a cream Toyota Prius, registration LJ16 PJB, which may be linked to the incident.
We are appealing to residents who may have CCTV, doorbell camera footage, dashcam recordings, or any information that could assist the investigation. If you have any relevant footage or information from the time of the incident, please contact your local officers and submit any evidence through Met Engage, where it can be reviewed and passed directly to the Officer in Charge of the investigation.
Your assistance could prove vital in helping identify those responsible and recovering the stolen vehicle.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
Kind regards,
PCSO Girvan Johnson

 We know that people can be concerned about the personal and financial impact of having their vehicle stolen, which is why we will pursue and arrest those who break the law. Please consider taking the following steps to keep your vehicle safe: Check that your vehicle is locked and secure every time you leave it. Thieves often look for easy opportunities to steal from vehicles. They will usually try the handles until they get lucky and find one that has been left unlocked. Keep your keys safe, out of view when at home and away from your front door. If you have a keyless entry vehicle, keep the key well away from the vehicle while at home and turn off wireless signals on your fob when its not being used. Consider putting the keys in a screened or signal blocking pouch, such as a Faraday Bag and check that it is still working every few months. Park your vehicle in a private garage if you can. If you don’t have access to one, try to park in a well –lit open space. Try to use public car parks that are part of the police approved Park Mark safer parking scheme. Secure your number plates with tamper resistant screws to avoid them being stolen and used by others.
We want your help to shape the future of policing across London. We are seeking your views on our new inclusion strategy to ensure that the Met is a police service that is trusted, representative and more effective at keeping London safe. You can have your say on our Inclusion Strategy consultation which runs until Thursday 26 November. |
