ASB Reporter – September summary 2022
By BAWebmaster
Published in Security and Safety
37 incidents were reported for September; one of which was reported on by a House Officer relating to the commercial offices at the base of Shakespeare Tower. One other incident was reported by a resident of Ben Jonson concerning attempted purse snatching on the periphery of the estate. However, this type of incident is regarded by the Police as a crime not anti-social behaviour per se and should be reported directly to the City of London Police who requested from the outset that crime incidents should not be included in the Asb Reporter. That being so means that the official total of asb incidents for September is 36.
This represents a decrease of 50.7% on the previous month’s total of 73 incidents.
Totals by house and their % of the total were as follows:
