Crime in Seven Sisters, Haringey

In order to reduce drug dealing and anti-social behaviour within the car park, the ward team have identified key times when offences have been reported. Patrols have been increased during these periods to maximise police presence. A number of stop and searches have been carried out with drugs being located and either arrests made or out of court disposal options utilised. Work continues in partnership with Haringey council to identify key individuals and premises linked to the noise nuisance. Once identified we will issue Community Protection Warnings (CPW) and Community Protection Notices (CPN) to prevent unreasonable behaviour that negatively impacts the quality of life of our local community. Patrols in the area are supplemented by officer from the Wood Green Town Centre Team when available
We encourage residents to continue to report incidents to police so the intelligence picture can be continually updated.

This ward priority has been progressed in the initial part of this year through the execution of two drug search warrants in the area and the successful application for a full closure order on one flat at the venue. Another prolific offender has been convicted of serious offences and a criminal behaviour order was successfully applied for by ward officers meaning that when released from prison this offender will remain excluded from the local area. Ward officers will continue to build the local intelligence picture and make further applications for relevant orders if necessary. Partnership working is in place with the council and the management of Olive Morris Court and applications are in place to evict tenants responsible for anti-social behaviour will be progressed in the coming months.

Ward officers will conduct vehicle patrols in the area to identify possible offences and deal with them appropriately by using arrest and stop and search power, reporting o traffic offences or by use of anti-social behaviour legislation such as section 59 of the Police Reform Act (vehicle seizures) or through the use on anti-social behaviour and community protection warnings.
