Queens Hospital hosted a crime prevention stall to make patients and visitors aware of how to secure their personal belongings and cars.
Crime prevention advice was also given out at stalls in Romford’s market place and The Liberty shopping centre, along with anti-theft chains for handbags and uv pens.
Acting sgt Beech took part in day and said: “A number of engagement events have taken place across the borough to speak to the public to help us understand and tackle the issues that matter most to them.
“We always need the help of the local community to ensure that they provide us with information and intelligence on crime and we will act upon that as fast as we can”.
