Seems like Stroud Green is officially a high crime area.

Go to the new Crime Maps site at http://maps.met.police.uk/

58 Burglary, robbery and vehicle
crimes during July. When you oll at the yearly trend it is going up.

Slightly worrying although when I put Lorne Rd in it is average

    After an average June, much of Crouch End and upper SG saw a shock doubling in crime in July, one area a tenfold increase.

    From two to twenty. Possibly due to tire slashing just outside the CPZ borders ...

    Haringey is coming down, while Stroud Green bucks the trend and increases.

    I think our street had more burglaries than normal and must have skewed the numbers. couple of houses were being done up and buggers got through the houses and round into back gardens. seems to have gone quiet again now though!

    Another burglary in our street last night (our next neighbours). Getting in round the back and jumping over fences.

    Seems like it must have happened a c.9pm as well, which is a bit brazen.

    Feels like there's a pretty serious problem with domestic burglaries at the moment.

    You must live on Evershot Road Andy. The break in was 2 doors down from me, 4 young guys in hoodies, 3 of whom kept look out while the fourth jumped over a fence and broke in round the back as you say.

    Police arrived very quickly and are sending round forensics today, which to me indicates they know there's a gang operating in the area and they want to catch them.

    Keep 'em peeled.

    Yes - I'm next door on the other side. Just talked to the forensics person and she said burglaries are really high at the moment.

    There was a car set on fire on Blythwood road a couple of weeks ago - obviously stolen and dumped. Scary thing was it 'exploded' ... which is how I discovered it (my windows banged with the pressure).

    Not seen anything like that around here ever before.

    We had a suspicious man ring our bell in the morning and ask for someone who didnt live here, he seemed really dodgy.

    We have had break ins at 8.00pm in the road a few times. So be extra vigilant.

    They are watching houses. There was a few on the corner here watching the other day which made me feel very uncomfortable.
