Forest Gate South Police

Last Friday we assisted with a squat eviction on Woodgrange Road. Officers were sprayed with paint and fire extinguishers. Two people were arrested.
Outreach services were present on the day and were able to help four others.

Today officers assisted with a large squat eviction in Stratford.
Everybody found inside was offered help from NHS and outreach services.
There were three arrests. One person was wanted for a serious assault and two others for drugs offences.

On late shifts this weekend and joined up with Stratford and Forest Gate North officers to carry out some group patrols on a minibus. 🚨
We patrolled along the canal path in Stratford as there have been reports of knife point robberies. ❌
We then patrolled all over Forest Gate. We issued Community Protection Notice warnings to four males last night, residents have been complaining about this group. They were congregating in a communal area and none of them live there! 👎
... Back on patrol again this evening 🙂

Hi all, a quick update from us... Last night we seized a vehicle for no insurance, the driver was also issued a warning for possession of cannabis. This week we arrested a female who was wanted for non-payment of fines. We have been out patrolling and responded to calls relating to robberies, males armed with knives, drug dealing and anti-social behaviour. We have also issued two warnings and a Community Protection Notice to people who have been found causing a nuisance a...nd intimidating local residents. If this Notice is breached then they are liable for arrest.
We are aware of a squat on Woodgrange Road E7 and we are working with the owners to arrange an eviction. We will update again shortly 😊

Hello everyone, we have just joined Nextdoor.
Nextdoor is a website/app which connects people instantly with their neighbours to build stronger and safer communities.
Residents use Nextdoor for a variety of things but some of the most popular are to discuss local issues and ask for recommendations.
... We are unable to view content posted by users in the neighbourhood but there is an option for residents to share crime and safety posts with officers.
This sounds like a great way for us to share updates with more residents.
A quick update - so far this week we have executed a number of arrest enquiries, visited victims, referred a female to outreach services, referred a male to the Youth Offending Team and patrolled the ward.

Tonight we attended a residents meeting arranged by their housing provider. Lots of positive work taking place by all parties which is ongoing! During our shift we also had the grounds to search twelve people. We found a male in possession of one bag of cannabis and he was issued a Community Resolution. We also had time for a weapon sweep. Nothing was found.

Prolific offender, Ennamul HOQUE, was convicted of residential burglary & possession of cocaine at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Friday. Jailed for 16 months and issued a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) with stringent conditions for 5 years to protect the public after release.
The CBO is a result of some of our hard work. The male will also be subject to an exclusion zone in the Forest Gate area following release. A great result for residents!

A good day for a stroll to complete some visits. We searched a male who was found in possession of a crack pipe. If there is something you would like our help with, please send us a message! 📩

Tonight we met our local Beavers group to help them with their safety badge! The Beavers were all so polite, wise and well behaved. We enjoyed our evening :-)
Other patrols and visits took place afterwards.

The residents living in this block of flats on our ward were suffering as a result of people constantly pulling their communal door open or damaging it in order for them to get into the block to take drugs. This was intimidating for residents trying to get into their homes. We are pleased to see the doors have been upgraded following meetings with both housing management and residents. We hope the residents can now live without fear of what they may find on their doorsteps #ForestGate

Last night we arrested a male for making threats to kill.
Today we stopped a male who gave us a false name and said he had never been arrested before. His fingerprints were checked on our new mobile fingerprint device. It turns out the male was wanted for breaching a court order. He was arrested too.

During our patrols this week we stopped a female and two males at the rear of a block of flats. This area has been reported to us as a place people are going to take drugs.
We arrested one of the males for going equipped to steal, handling stolen goods and possession of Class A. This male was also wanted for a burglary.
The female had her details checked and was also shown as being wanted for making threats to kill. She was arrested too.
