There has been a significant rise in disruption related offences in particular fly tipping on the Northern Line.  Six offences have been recorded at Woodstock Avenue area, located adjacent to the line between Golders Green Lu and Brent Cross LU Station.

We/our partners have:

In the Month of November

• High visibility patrols from BTP officers in

  or around the vicinity of Woodstock Ave

   

• Crime prevention community engagement at Golders Green tube station 

You Said:

Theft offences equated to 29% of reported crime on the Northern Line North NPT area. The top three stations where theft offences are reported are Tottenham Court Road, Camden Town and Goodge Street. These three stations represent three of the busier stations for passenger numbers within the Northern Line North NPT area and are likely to attract the attention of offenders who target crowded locations to commit this type of offence.

We/our partners have:

In the month of November

• Conducted High Visibility patrols on the Northern Line North NPT area with particular attention being given to Tottenham Court Road, Camden Town and Goodge Street.
• Liaising with the Lost Property Office of London Underground Limitied to ensure lost property is returned to its owner and that these items do not get recorded as thefts.

This plan has been commissioned to address the rise in the number of VAP offences.

This has been highlighted at both PACT meetings and COMSTAT by General Station Managers in charge of the stations covered in this plan. These concerns are supported by the fact that on the Northern Line North area there has been an increase from 3 offences to 10 in the said periods of comparison. These being the 17/07/2011 to 17/10/2011 compared with the 17/10/2011 to 17/01/2012.
