Here are some useful ways to keep you and your property safe on the street, which feels particularly relevant given the recent spate of knife crime in the borough. Look confident You are less likely to be targeted if you look confident. Move with purpose and try to be aware of your surroundings. Know where you’re going Plan your route and think about what to take with you, especially if you’re going somewhere you haven’t been before. Keep to busy, well-lit streets, walkways and paths which are more likely to be covered by CCTV. Only take licensed taxis or minicabs booked by phone or a mobile phone app. Hide it Keep your mobile phone and valuables out of sight. If you’re using your phone it’s more likely to be snatched from your hand as you’re not paying attention to your surroundings, so look around you. And never leave a mobile, any other device, wallet or purse on the table of an outdoor café, pub or restaurant. Same goes for any jewellery you might be wearing – keep it covered when walking down the street. Finally – and this is so important to remember – if you’re threatened with violence, don’t risk your personal safety. Property can be replaced, you can’t. See our page of advice on responding to violent situations.

We are shocked and saddened at the tragic fatal stabbing in West Kensington last week of Ayub Hassan, a 17 year old local resident. Ayub’s friends, family and community are understandably reeling from this horrific incident. The police are reaching out to local communities to ask what support is needed, and they are obviously the first point of contact if you have any information that might assist their enquiries, but Sobus would also be glad to provide whatever support we can to help you and the communities you work with, through this very difficult time. Knife crime and gang culture is clearly a huge issue affecting communities up and down the country, with last week’s horrific news planting this issue very firmly on our doorstep. While lots of organisations are working incredibly hard to tackle the problem, clearly more needs to be done on both a national, regional and local level and it is likely that in the coming weeks and months, we will come together to explore how we, as individuals, organisations and a community, can work together on this. Our deepest sympathies are extended to this young man’s family, friends and community. It is hard to imagine the devastation and grief that they must now endure. Any witnesses or anyone with any information is asked to call police on 101 or contact via Twitter @MetCC quoting CAD 4136/07MAR. To give information anonymously contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org.”
