“Police Update

• The police and key partners delivered Operation Zerzura in the town centre on Thursday 23 & Friday 24 November led by Broad Green’s Sergeant Zoe Rowbotham. The operation was focused on enforcement and resulted in 19 arrests of individuals wanted for serious crimes and drug offences. 
• Croydon Police ran two successful ‘Live facial recognition’ operations in December, these led to a significant number of arrests with some people wanted for some very serious matters, including a fugitive on the run since 2015. 
• The police are responding to a spate of street robberies of young people, particularly in the South Croydon and Purley area. Extra resources and patrols have been deployed on weekday mornings and afternoons which have led to recent arrests of suspects. Chris Philp MP has offered his support through his role as Policing Minister. 
• Recruitment for the uplift of Sergeants in Croydon have now been completed with placements beginning in December.
