Targeted ASB and robbery / phone snatch Patrols Across the Ward

PCSO Paul conducted targeted patrols at a number of known anti-social behaviour and drug activity hotspots across the ward, focusing on areas where concerns have been raised by residents and partner agencies. Additionally done some robbery patrols due to phone snatches sometimes via the use of a bike or on foot.

Patrols took place around the open spaces and communal areas of the Swan Mead, Harold Estate and Pages Walk area, checking locations known to attract groups engaging in anti-social behaviour and addressing any emerging issues affecting the local community.

Patrols included the stairwells and communal areas of the St Saviour’s Estate, where checks were carried out for signs of drug use, rough sleeping, criminal damage, and any individuals causing nuisance within residential blocks especially at St Vincent House, Woodville House and Preston House where I also got to engage with a number of residents.

Grange Walk and Abbey Street patrols targeting drugs activity.

Patrols were conducted on the Arnold Estate, with particular attention given to bin storage areas and concealed locations that can attract drug use, drug-related litter, and anti-social behaviour. These areas were checked and monitored during the patrol.

PCSO Paul also carried out high-visibility reassurance patrols at Guinness Court Snowsfields and along Tower Bridge Road, including inspections of communal entrances, stairwells, and surrounding building perimeters. Engagement opportunities were taken and provided reassurance to local residents.

PCSO Paul also carried out robbery patrols down Tanner Street, Bermondsey Street, and Snowsfields. 

And last but not least a quick check of Hamilton Square for any drug use.

These locations represent just some of the areas covered during the patrol. High-visibility policing remains an important tactic in tackling anti-social behaviour, disrupting drug-related activity, gathering intelligence, and providing reassurance to residents across the ward. Members of the public are encouraged to continue reporting concerns so that patrols can be targeted where they are needed most.
