Motor Vehicle Crime Priority
Despite a 9% year‑on‑year reduction in vehicle crime across the wider area, the issue remains clearly prevalent within Shirley South, with 88 offences recorded in the last 12 months. This is not only reflected in the crime data but is strongly echoed through community sentiment. Residents have repeatedly identified vehicle crime as their number one local priority via MetEngage, and this is reinforced further through direct conversations with community groups and neighbourhood associations.
Issued: 22 Jan 2026
Status Update
A review of the crime patterns indicates that the majority of offences occur overnight, suggesting offenders are exploiting periods of reduced natural surveillance. This pattern aligns with existing operational activity, creating an opportunity for the Shirley South SNT to support and integrate with ongoing operations.
The team will also seek to conduct street briefings in roads where there is repeat victimisation, with target hardening guidance to be given to all, as well as conduct reassurance visits to those victim of motor vehicle crime. We will also utilise MetEngage to provide crime prevention advice, and updates on any relevant activity.
