Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps he is taking to tackle moped crime in Havering.
Crimes involving mopeds are clearly a concern. That is why we worked with the police, industry and other partners last autumn to develop a comprehensive action plan to tackle them.
Figures from the Metropolitan Police show that this, together with an adapted operational and tactical response by the police, has resulted in a 32% reduction in the theft of mopeds, motorbikes and scooters in the year to March 2019 and a 52% reduction in these items being used in crime for the same period.
