Below are the top three reported crimes in January 2018 for the 3 wards in Norwood. Over the 3 wards Miscellaneous Theft, Residential Burglary and Assault Without Injury featured strongly and were also the top three crimes by total in the data for December 2017.  With Residential Burglary there has been a spate of clumsy, amateur break ins made during daylight hours and if you are concerned you will find specific advice on crime prevention in  https://www.met.police.uk/your-area/
 

To give some perspective we provide a crime rate comparison table of crimes per 1000 residents in January 2018.  Whilst we are aware that local residents are concerned about knife crime and scooter gangs and there have been some high profile cases this year including the Knights Hill post office robbery Norwood is still below the Borough average.
