11 Jan Latest Crime Update 31/12/2025

Posted at 21:10h in Law And Order by

Dear Residents,

Happy New Year & hope you had a nice Christmas. Please find below the crime record for the period from 16 Dec to 31 Dec 2025.

Unfortunately, there was another spate of burglaries.  This time in and around Ravensbourne Avenue.  There was also another in the Oakway.

On a more positive note, there’s been no burglaries so far this month.  Hopefully, that will still be the case in around a week’s time when I send out my report for the first two weeks of January.

On the community engagement side our next drop-in surgery will be at Shortlands Library, Shortlands Road on Saturday 24/01/26 from 10am to 11am.

We’ll also be holding a Cuppa With A Copper session on Friday 16/01/26 from 4pm to 5pm on Friday 16/01/26 at Costa Coffee, Westmoreland Road.

Hope to see some of you at these events.

Looking forward to another year of police & community working together to keep Shortlands & Park Langley one of the safest Wards in the Met.

Kind Regards,

 

Adam Charles
