Murderers, fraudsters and burglars have all been sent behind bars in south east London and north Kent this month.
Some tragic murder cases came to their conclusion in February, as well as a fraudster who pretended his family died in the Grenfell Tower fire.
These are the most significant cases last month for people who were jailed.
Asher Mitchell-Butler, 20, of Perystreete, Forest Hill, was sentenced to six years in jail at Woolwich Crown Court on February 1 after driving a moped directly at a police officer in Bromley.
Two men on a moped approached plain clothed police officers before making a run for it in June last year.
The officers believed the runners were going to try and rob them before realising who they were.
Two teenage rappers responsible for fatally stabbing Adam Chambers in the heart with a large combat knife have been jailed.
Dval Doh, 16, was seen laughing after the Woolwich knife attack on June 13 as he walked away with 19-year-old Felou Abadja.
Both were found guilty of manslaughter and possessing an offensive weapon. Abadja, from Eltham, was sentenced to 18 years in jail with an extended licence of four years.
Doh, from Charlton, was served with 12 years with an extended licence of four years and he will be sent to a young offenders institution.
Officers descended on Joel Henry's home in Lord Warwick Street on November 1 last year and raided his home, finding cocaine in the freezer.
Henry, 40, pleaded guilty to possessing drugs with intent to supply on February 7 at Woolwich Crown Court. He was sentenced to three years and four months behind bars.
Serial fraudster Anh Nhu Nguyen was jailed for 21 months after claiming his family died in the Grenfell Tower fire to obtain thousands of pounds from a victim relief fund.
Nguyen, 53, was born in Vietnam, has been in the UK since the 1980s, is a British citizen and has 17 aliases.
Dickson Tangu was found guilty of the murder of Daniel Namanga after he fatally stabbed the teenager outside a nightclub.
Daniel was only 19 years old when he went to Afrikiko Bar on Old Kent Road on August 8 with friends for a night out.
They got involved in an altercation around 2am and the 22-year-old Tangu chased the Wimbledon teenager and stabbed him in the chest.
Tangu appeared at Inner London Crown Court where he was found guilty of murder and possession of a knife on February 6. He was sentenced to life imprisonment, to serve a minimum of 23 years.
Police arrested Paul Egbujor, 20, in August after they raided a property in Tunbridge Wells.
Egbujor, of Harold Avenue in Belvedere, was found by police in the bedroom with 30 wraps of crack cocaine and heroin with a street value of £300.
Egbujor pleaded guilty to possessing heroin and crack cocaine with intent to supply as well as possessing cannabis. He was sentenced at Maidstone Crown Court to 21 months behind bars.
Nicholas Foy, of Greenvale Road in Eltham, was jailed for life with a minimum of 17 years at the Old Bailey on February 15 after being found guilty of murdering a French tourist.
Cameras caught the 39-year-old murderer sprinting through Eltham after he had taken a "deadly cocktail" of cocaine and alcohol.
Foy attacked French national Laurent Volpe as he was walking along Well Hall Parade in Eltham on August 11 last year.
Mr Volpe, 49, was in London visiting family and was on his way back from grocery shopping when he was fatally stabbed.
Belvedere burglar Robert Andrew Kane, 27, hit a number of high-end homes in Oxshott, Dorking and Betchworth where he stole jewellery, silverware and watches.
Kane initially pleaded guilty to only two of the five offences, but after a week-long trial at Guildford Crown Court the jury returned unanimous guilty verdicts to the other three burglaries.
He was sentenced on February 19 at the same court to five years behind bars.
Devon Doyley was responsible for a spate of burglaries across Lewisham in September and October last year, until officers were able to identify him using CCTV footage.
The 53-year-old man from Tressillian Crescent in Lewisham was arrested and bailed, but a few days later tried to burgle another house in Lewisham.
Members of the public rushed to help and were able to restrain Doyley until police arrived, and he was sentenced to 51 months in prison.
Adnan Noor, 26, got involved in a fight with Greenwich police officers where he strangled an officer by wrapping his legs around his neck while they were on the floor.

He pleaded guilty to possessing a Class A drug with intent to supply and with obstructing a constable and was sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court to two years and nine months in prison.
A Dartford burglar who terrified a young girl in her bedroom during a break-in at a family home in Greenhithe has been jailed.
