To support local initiatives such as Operation Nomad, Wandsworth Council is to fund additional visible dedicated police officers across the borough using the Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy. These officers will be integrated directly into Safer Neighbourhood Teams to increase visible foot patrols and act on resident-driven intelligence.
Furzedown officers joined Tooting Broadway and Wandsworth Common in a plain-clothes operation. Two shoplifters were caught and two Community Protection Warnings issued.
Officers have expanded targeted coverage to the paved junction where Eardley Road meets Blegborough Road following complaints about mopeds and cyclists riding dangerously through pedestrianised areas.
There is a concentration of robbery offences targeting young people travelling to and from local schools, including Graveney School, as well as around Furzedown Recreation Ground and the Tooting Bec Athletic Track.
Earlier updates are kept in date order so the main News section stays focused on four stories at a time.
