Current local priorities
- Robbery Our data shows that there has been an increase in robbery incidents on Mitcham Road junction with Tooting High Street around the ATM's. A distraction technique is being used whereby one suspect approaches someone using the ATM, whilst the second suspect steals the money being dispensed with the machine.
- Anti-social Behaviour Tooting Broadway has a high footfall due to the tube station, Tooting Market and St George's Hospital. Due to this we are aware there is a problem with begging, rough sleeping, shoplifting, rowdy behaviour from licenced premises and drug dealing, this is across the ward and not specific to any certain area. These concerns are regularly raised to use in our ward panel meetings.
- Motor Vehicle Crime Vehicle crime is being committed in specific areas where a large number of vehicles are parked, this includes St George's Hospital car park and Sainsbury's car park, common offences being committed are theft from vehicles and theft of vehicles. Due to the high number of take away restaurants in the area, we have seen an increase in moped delivery drivers being targeted.

How to Read This
Designed for travel planning, not certainty.
- Recent street-level incidents within the selected radius are weighted by category.
- Violence, robbery, weapons and burglary carry higher weight than lower-severity categories.
- A stable neighbourhood baseline from the official English Indices of Deprivation crime domain anchors the score.
- Dense central visitor areas are normalized so footfall does not automatically imply danger.
- Improving recent trend slightly lifts the score; a rising trend lowers it.
- The score is indicative and based only on public recorded crime data, not a guarantee of personal safety.
