Weapon sweeps in Bethnal Green

As you can see from the picture a 10 inch knife was found barely hidden on a sidewalk in undergrowth.

The knife is hard to see but the handler will know where it is and can retrieve it quickly.

The East London Advertiser reported on the story and shows how dangerous this knife is. If you can see such items in the undergrowth, hidden in bushes, grass or elsewhere please notify the police immediately.

A gun was also found in the Mile End Road by gardeners reports the ELA.

Police Contact Advice:
Telephone 999 in an emergency where there is a danger to life or a crime is in progress.
Telephone 101 for non-emergencies where police attendance is required, to report a crime or to report any other incidents. Calls to 101 have a fixed cost of 15p per call.

Neighbourhood Watch registration

Dear Residents.

Neighbourhood Watch on the estate is being re-organised into at least 3 watches because each area of the estate has got their own unique problems.

We’ll have a Rosebery House Watch, Sidney House watch and others.

It is essential for the purpose of good communications that all interested register with the new OWL website.

It would also be welcome if residents could pre-register and leave their essential contact information so that can be passed on to the local unit and help avoid extra work for them as you know officers are in short supply these days. Please note that no copy of your submission will be kept by Parkview Residents, only your local Safer Neighbourhood Team will get the information supplied.

So please fill in this following form and all fields are required please.

Neighbourhood Watch

The Metropolitan Police website currently undergoes a major modernisation and changes mean that at the moment, the usual feeds, which show SNT meetings for our area do not work.

A further change also is that Tower Hamlets Neighbourhood Watch now mainly uses the OWL website for inter-watch communications.
