The South Acton Safer Neighbourhood ward Panel met this month, and there has been an increase in burglaries and stolen cars. The ward team is currently under strength by one PC.
| Crime | Sep-Nov17 | Jun-Aug 17 | Feb-May 17 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burglary Dwelling | 32 | 22 | 8 |
| Robbery | 16 | 7 | 9 |
| Theft from Motor Vehicle | 15 | 16 | 21 |
| Theft of motor Vehicle | 19 | 11 | 8 |
The increase in burglaries is in part due to a change in the way crimes are categorised. They now include theft from sheds and attempted burglaries. So for Sep to Nov, they include:
A cycle was stolen from a bin store
A cycle was stolen from a garage in Uxbridge Road on two separate occasions
A log cabin was entered
A cycle was stolen from a garden shed
Property was stolen from an underground car park
A cycle was stolen from a communal storage area
