Local Priorities Anti Social Behaviour News - MetEngage BLENDON & PENHILL

Please review the following update regarding Anti Social Behaviour which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.
 

Due to the recent Anti-Social Behaviour issues we have currently been facing the Safer Neighbourhoods Teams have patrolled Marlborough Park, The Oval and the surrounding areas everyday this week.
When we are on shift we will continue to patrol the areas on foot and in vehicles.

Antisocial behaviour can come in many forms and can require support from more organisations than just the police. There are 13 different types of antisocial behaviour that we may be able to help with, including abandoned vehicles, littering or drugs paraphernalia and street drinking. A full list of what we categorise as antisocial behaviour is available on our website.  

 If you have witnessed or experienced antisocial behaviour, you can report it online.

 If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.met.police.uk/, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101.  

 Alternatively, you can stay 100% anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org.

Local Priorities Anti Social Behaviour Message - MetEngage Falconwood and Welling

Please review the following update regarding Anti Social Behaviour which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.
 

Your local officers have been busy over the past week patrolling the Ward either visible on foot or covertly in plain clothes in an effort to stem anti-social behaviour. We have had reports of high powered electric bikes in Danson Park causing a nuisance so we have been concentrating efforts in and around the park. With the good weather the Parks become more attractive to these perpetrators so we will continue to patrol and deal with these individuals in a proportionate and robust manner so our residents can enjoy the parks.

Watch out for bogus holiday adverts

Which? has found fake adverts impersonating genuine businesses and conning holidaymakers into booking accommodation that doesn't exist.

The scammers have stolen photos to create tempting adverts and fake websites, and victims often don't realise their booking is bogus until they arrive at their destination. We reveal how this scam works and what you can do to avoid falling victim.

Scamwatch: recovering forgotten crypto

We recently spoke to a Which? member who was contacted out of the blue by a company that told them they'd built up Bitcoin wealth. This company offered to help them recover the lost funds.

Our fraud expert, Faye Lipson, explains why this type of message is almost certainly a scam, even if you've invested in bitcoin in the past
