Figures released by the Metropolitan Police indicate a significant decrease in the number of offences committed in Havering for the year ending November 2007.
The total number offences for the 12 month period to November 2007 amounted to 17,640 compared with 21,137 for the same period in 2006, equating to a 20 per cent decrease in recorded offences.
Among the most significant reductions were:
131% drop in gun enabled crime (from 67 to 29)
41% drop in motor vehicle crime (from 4,095 to 2,905)
15% drop in all violence against the person (from 3,903 to 3,397)
15% drop in all burglaries (from 2,569 to 2,235)
10% drop in domestic crime (from 1,174 to 1,066)
Key activities over recent months include a specific operation targeting burglaries, which led to an increase in the number of people arrested and intelligence gathered. In addition, a week long campaign targeting road safety was launched which led to 158 fixed penalty notices being issued for offences ranging from no seat belt to jumping a red light.
