Local police announce first public liaison meeting of the year

Myatt’s Fields local police team is inviting residents to meet them at their first Safer Neighbourhood Team panel of 2025.

The panel – at which the local team answer questions about local crime and safety issues – will take place at the Myatt’s Fields North community centre on February 12th at 7pm.

At the last meeting, new policing priorities were set by local people – they were:

  • Anti-social behaviour, including drug dealing, on the Myatt’s Fields North estate
  • Positive engagement with local young people
  • Violent crime, including robbery in the Ward.

Earlier this month the team reported that three suspects had been arrested and bailed following a robbery in Patmos Road on Christmas Eve.

The Myatt’s officers say they are working with the Met’s robbery team in the investigation, and intend to have Community Behaviour Orders imposed to ban the suspects from the area.
