A Scotland Yard spokesperson said: “A commitment to neighbourhood policing is central to our delivery of a New Met for London.
“We are working with our communities to ensure that crime is reported, victims are supported and those responsible for committing crime are brought to justice.
“We also continue to use data and technology, such as phone tracking and surveillance techniques, to target offenders and investigate crimes that impact those living and working in London.
“There is no place for violence or the threat of violence in public or in people’s homes. Violence against women and girls is a particular area of focus, and it is vital that victims of domestic violence and harassment seek support and report criminal offences to police.”
“We have renewed our commitment to tackling shoplifting and retail crime in collaboration with the wider business community. In partnership with retailers, we have also recently launched a new targeted operation across the capital to crackdown on this crime.”
