West Greenwich has one of the lower burglary rates in the Borough and there is a low rate of street robbery; the area also has a high detection rate for burglary in London.

As well as ensuring doors are double locked (including the use of a mortice lock – see crime prevention tips) at night and when you are out, you also advised to make patio and sash windows, sheds and outhouses secure at all times.

There has been a recent increase in acquisition crime such as handbag snatching and pick pocketing, the theft of pedacycles and electrical items (iPhones etc.); underlining the need to protect your property and possessions and to use decent cycle locks.

If you do become a victim of crime or witness a crime and want to report it to the Police, you can do so in a number of ways:
  • Dial 999 in an EMERGENCY, 24 hours a day, where life or property are in danger, a crime is being committed or the suspect is nearby and the police are required immediately.
  • Dial 101 (calls are charged at a local rate) to contact the general West Greenwich Police Station number or the Metropolitan Police when not an emergency.
  • Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, for reporting crime anonymously.
  • West Greenwich Safer Neighbourhood Police team, Greenwich Police Station, Burney Street, Greenwich, SE10 8RR on 020 8649 3536 or 020 8284 5494 or email westgreenwich.snt@met.police.uk to report crime, anti social behaviour or ongoing problems.

At the meeting, we had a constructive conversation about a range of issues and I’m hopeful we have found a way to ensure everyone is working to make Greenwich market thrive moving forward.’
