Question's for the SNT;

i) What does SCALE refer to/mean?

ii) From the stats provided for the three month period August - October, the most significant crimes are thefts from shops and thefts of motor vehicles. Their has been an ongoing issue with the theft of motor vehicles in SE23 for at least the past 18 months. They happen at all hours during the night and day, including from residents drive ways. What is the SNT/PC's doing in an attempt to combat and stop these thefts taking place, catching and prosecuting those involved?

iii) Any reason for the spike in residential burglary?

What are local PC's doing to combat these criminal activities?

What effect are the activities having to apprehend, charge and prosecute those involved?

What is the success rate in those involved being caught?

The theft of vehicles is down to inadequate security installed by the manufacturers. The criminals are able to obtain and copy the electronic signals needed to unlock and start cars. Some cars can be accessed via their wiring.
It is advisable to fit additional security to your car.

That may well be the case, HOWEVER, I thought part of the role and job of the police was to find and recover where ever possible stolen cars.

SE23 has been blighted (well my road has) for the past 18 months and very if any action has taken place.

So generally not impressed. If there's a hot spot how about chucking resources at it to identify, catch and prosecute those doing it.

Because what happens is that not only car insurance premiums, house insurance premiums increases as well to help cover the cost of providing replacement cars. No laughing matter.

Add to that tradesman no longer will work in certain postcodes. I know at least one who won't work in SE15.

And add to that the number of attempted thefts of tradesman's vehicles and actual theft of their tools. result, their charges increase and who pays, oh WE s**ding WELL PAY FOR IT.

SO the Police need to get their finger out, go do some detective work, like what they get paid to do, and catch some bad guys. Simples. Rather than prosecuting people on social media who criticise this Government and Starmer (I don't answer questions) who's a clown and worst PM in 65 years
