Over the course of this weekend (February 17 and 18) Petts Wood Safer Neighbourhood Team have dealt with a range of crime incidents.

Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNTs) are made up of local Met police officers working closely with the Council, community leaders and residents to identify policing priorities in each ward across the borough.

On Saturday night (February 17), officers arrested a male on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon and on suspicion of having no insurance.

 

He has since been charged for both offences and is bailed to court.

Across the weekend, the Petts Wood Safer Neighbourhood Team has also carried out 10 stop and searches, issued a male with a community resolution, and seized 51 canisters of nitrous oxide.

A male has also been summoned for an interview, and another arrest was made for a person on suspicion of breach of court order.
