I'm genuinely sorry if I have derailed this thread, which started off as being about a specific burglary in Lacon Road.
I will start another thread in the lounge, because I think the general points being discussed are important.
Thanks very much for that. I think the better informed we are, the better our discussions will be.
The article contained: "That arrest had quite an impact on the [phone theft] numbers for the following month,” said Green.
Here's another indicator, admittedly a piece of police PR, of how well-targeted police efforts, mostly invisible to us, can when successful seriously affect offending figures: https://news.met.police.uk/news/met-police-drive-down-theft-and-robbery-by-84-percent-in-battersea-and-nine-elms-500495.
Another excellent article from Jim Waterson's London Centric reporting

Interesting that there seem to be favoured and repeated routes for phone snatching for particular thieves. Seems ED might be one of them ☹️
