Inspector Cornish

Local Bermondsey PC Kev Webster spotted a social media post about a man harassing lone women. He contacted the woman who had posted it, took a statement, used local knowledge + cctv to identify and arrest the suspect for breach of his Sexual Harm Prevention Order. Now remanded.

PCSO Durrant has been busy in the London Bridge area. He intercepted a trespasser using drugs in a stairwell who was wanted for recall to prison. He prevented escape until arrest by PC colleagues. The next day he detained a "table surfer" phone thief until arrested.

Peckham neighbourhood officers recently executed two search warrants at 5am at local addresses. 40 rocks of suspected Class A drugs were thrown from a window as officers forced entry. 3 arrests ensued for supply & possession offences. Good teamwork by PCs Holmes, Miller & Poonia.

Good outcome for Camberwell PCs Downey & Smith. They arrested + charged a man in May for possession of a knife and drugs. He went on the run from court but was recently located and sentenced to 26 weeks’ imprisonment for the knife offence + an extra 2 weeks for going on the run.

Camberwell officers recently intercepted & searched a man loitering near sheltered housing for vulnerable men. They found Heroin, Cannabis, electronic scales and 5 phones. Arrested. Peckham officers spotted, chased and arrested a man wanted for domestic GBH on his partner.

We are proud of PC Poonia from our Rye Lane, Peckham team. She recognised a woman on the street whom she had seen on a briefing several weeks earlier. The woman was wanted for recall to prison due to her offending behaviour since release. She was arrested and returned to prison.

@ConnellanTim Good morning. I intend to look into this too. I am aware of the strong feelings about LTNs in Dulwich and the incidents that have resulted. I am policing the Notting Hill Carnival this weekend but hope to be in touch with you when it is over. I wish you a good Bank Holiday w/e.

Neighbourhood officers in Dulwich identified a burglar prowling gardens at night from cctv despite his face being obscured by a hooded top. Detectives then tracked him down across South London. He was located, arrested & charged with 3 burglaries + 10 thefts of Ring doorbells.

@gmhales Burgess Park area, SE15.

Peckham officer PC Downham was on bike patrol when a woman was robbed of her mobile phone. PC Downham anticipated that the suspects would sell the phone at a nearby shop. She guided cctv to the shop & went there. The suspects were seen there, arrested, knife + key evidence found.

Local officers in South Bermondsey followed up community info on stolen bikes and found 4 bikes chained in a stairwell. They identified one as stolen, undid the lock & seized all 4 bikes. The relieved victim will get her bike back. Investigation ongoing to ID suspect & owners.

Our Camberwell officers recently intercepted a man sitting in a car smoking cannabis with a lock knife hidden in his waistband. Arrested, charged and remanded in custody. Meanwhile Dulwich officers caught a disqualified driver riding a moped containing 10 big bags of cannabis.

@mng321 Thankyou for your feedback and interest Martyn. The Metropolitan Police Service website currently displays the full name of each officer attached to each Safer Neighbourhood Team. Officers are expected to be mindful of their security and privacy when using Social Media.

PCSO Paul Durrant was patrolling a housing estate in the London Bridge SE1 area recently when told about a man using drugs in a stairwell. Paul swiftly intercepted him & established that he was wanted for two serious assaults in 2011. Paul detained him until arrest by colleagues.

PCs Lloyd & Ellis from the Old Kent Road team on foot patrol yesterday were flagged down by refuse collectors. The 3 operatives reported they'd been racially abused persistently while doing their job. The officers identified the man and made a swift arrest (& got more abuse).

On Wednesday one of our new Neighbourhood constables arranged & led 3 simultaneous search warrants in London SE1 following burglaries in which bicycles were stolen. 17 bikes were recovered which are believed stolen. A suspect was arrested and we're tracing the genuine owners.

Camberwell Neighbourhood officers have tracked down & arrested a man who attacked his ex-partner knocking her teeth out. He was wanted for contacting her directly, thereby breaching his court bail. He ran from the officers in his underwear and was arrested 3 streets away.
