    Actioned 18 April 2026

  • Priority:

    Residential Burglary

    Short Term Objectives (0–3 months)
    1) Reduce Immediate Risk and Repeat Victimisation
    Implement Super Cocooning following every residential burglary, including:

    • Visits to immediate neighbouring properties and wider street where appropriate.
    • Delivery of tailored crime prevention advice (locks, lighting, alarms, CCTV).
    • Identification of vulnerable residents requiring additional safeguarding.
    • Ensure repeat victims are prioritised for follow up visits and reassurance patrols.

    2) Targeted Community Engagement (Met Engage)
    Use Met Engage to:
    a) Communicate burglary trends, hotspot locations, and prevention advice.
    b) Notify residents of recent offences and policing activity.
    c) Encourage residents to report suspicious behaviour promptly.
    d) Increase digital engagement to reach residents efficiently where physical visits are limited.

    3) Increase Visible Deterrence
    a. Conduct high visibility patrols in burglary hotspots and during peak offending times.
    b. Align patrol activity with Super Cocooning deployments to reinforce reassurance.

    4) Improve Detection and Disruption
    a. Prioritise evidence gathering through CCTV, doorbell footage, forensic opportunities, and witness enquiries.
    b. Use stop and search and proactive patrols to disrupt suspected burglary offenders.

    5) Strengthen Intelligence Flow
    a. Capture intelligence arising from Super Cocooning visits and Met Engage feedback.
    b. Identify emerging patterns, suspect descriptions, and vehicles linked to offences.

    ________________________________________
    Long Term Objectives (6–12 months and beyond)
    1) Sustained Reduction in Residential Burglary
    a. Achieve a consistent reduction in residential burglary and repeat victimisation through embedded prevention and engagement.
    b. Use performance data to assess the effectiveness of Met Engage messaging and Super Cocooning coverage.

    2) Embedded Preventative Engagement (Met Engage)
    a. Make Met Engage the primary platform for ongoing burglary prevention messaging, community updates, and reassurance.
    b. Build and maintain strong resident engagement to improve trust, confidence, and information sharing.

    3) Prolific Offender Management
    a. Identify and target known and emerging burglary offenders through:
    i. Enforcement action.
    ii. Bail conditions, licence management, tagging, or civil orders where appropriate.
    b. Work with probation and partner agencies to reduce reoffending.

    4) Community Resilience Through Super Cocooning

    b. Empower residents to act as capable guardians by improving awareness and guardianship at a local level.

    5) Environmental and Partnership Solutions

    i. Improve security, lighting, alley gating, and CCTV in vulnerable areas.
    ii. Address repeat hotspot locations using problem solving methods.

    Issued 08 January 2026

    Action taken:

    • Oct 2025 – Dec 2025: 17 offences
    • Jan 2026 – Mar 2026: 23 offences
    Overall trend: 6% rise in offending
    ________________________________________
    Scale and Trend
    Residential burglary has increased across the ward, rising from 17 offences in Q4 2025 to 23 offences in Q1 2026. While January recorded a notable spike (11 offences), offending reduced by almost half in the subsequent months, suggesting early disruption or seasonal variation. Despite this reduction, overall offending remains above the previous quarter and continues to present a community safety concern.
    ________________________________________
    Victim and Property Impact
    • Primary property targeted:
    o Jewellery
    o Cash
    • Victims include residents across a concentrated geographic area, with a heightened impact on perceptions of safety and security within affected streets.
    ________________________________________
    Offender Analysis
    • Modus Operandi (MO):
    o 70% of offences involved suspects accessing properties via rear gardens, followed by forced entry through rear windows or doors.
    o Garages and sheds were targeted on three occasions, indicating opportunistic theft and vulnerabilities in outbuildings.
    • Offender Identification:
    o One suspect identified through forensic opportunities, demonstrating effective evidence recovery.
    o One suspect apprehended but later released due to the matter constituting a civil dispute (landlord/tenant), highlighting complexities where criminal and civil issues intersect.
    • Offender profile:
    o Evidence suggests a mix of opportunistic and targeted offending, exploiting rear access points and limited natural surveillance.
    ________________________________________
    Location Analysis
    • Geographic concentration:
    o A clear cluster of offences within the South East sector of the ward, identifying this area as the primary hotspot requiring focused patrols, prevention activity, and partnership engagement.
    ________________________________________
    Time Analysis
    • 65% of offences occurred between 12:00 and 23:00 hrs, indicating:
    o Offences largely taking place during daytime and early evening periods.
    o Likely exploitation of unoccupied properties during working hours and reduced guardianship during evenings.
    ________________________________________
    Key Issues Identified
    • Rear garden access and insecure rear doors/windows are a consistent vulnerability.
    • Daytime and evening offending reduces the deterrent effect of traditional night time patrol focus.
    • Concentration within a defined area increases the risk of repeat and near repeat victimisation.
    • Civil disputes linked to offending can complicate enforcement outcomes.

    How residents can help reduce burglary risk:
    Secure rear doors, gates, and garden access, including sheds and outbuildings
    Keep valuables out of sight and lock doors and windows even when at home
    Be aware that burglaries often happen during the day, especially when homes appear unoccupied
    Report suspicious activity straight away – early reporting helps prevent further offences

    What we are doing:
    Providing reassurance visits and crime‑prevention advice to affected streets
    Using forensic and CCTV opportunities to identify offenders
    Working with housing providers and landlords to tackle underlying issues
    Taking action against repeat offenders and problem locations

    If you experience burglary or ongoing anti‑social behaviour:
    Emergency: Call 999
    Non‑emergency: Call 101 or report online

    Work closely with the Ward Panel to promote Met Engage sign‑ups, with the aim of increasing coverage across all areas of the ward. Increasing membership is critical to target‑hardening the area, as it enables the rapid dissemination of crime‑prevention advice, timely alerts following offences, and targeted messaging during burglary spikes or emerging issues.

    Met Engage membership has increased to 487 residents, up from 183 members in the previous quarter. This significant growth demonstrates strong community engagement and provides an effective platform to widen preventative messaging, reinforce reassurance activity, and reduce vulnerability at high‑risk locations. Further expansion will strengthen collective vigilance and support early intervention.
