Robbery, theft, and violence down in Camden, City Hall says
City Hall is praising “enhanced partnership” in helping to drive down robbery, theft, and violence in Camden. The latest statistics show that robbery has fallen by 19.5%, theft from person and vehicle crime offences are down by 11%, and violence with injury has also been reduced by over 8% in the borough.
“The improvements made in the 12 months to October 2025 are attributed to more effective partnership work between community representatives and Camden Council, the Met Police and Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime and London’s Violence Reduction Unit, who have worked collectively to identify crime hotspots and patterns of offending,” City Hall say in a press release.
Since the beginning of April to 12th November 2025, theft of personal items in the borough had fallen by 31.6% or 4,171 fewer offences. Personal robbery had also been reduced by 30.7% or 638 offences over the same period.
“Joint initiatives such as dedicated Town Centre Police Teams, Business Improvement District collaborations and multi-agency forums have played a key role in reducing offences and improving safety across high-crime wards like Holborn and Covent Garden, Bloomsbury, and Camden Town,” according to City Hall. “This joint working has been taking place alongside targeted and plain clothes operations by local neighbourhood officers.”
In addition, the number of homicides across the capital in the first nine months of the year was the lowest in the first nine months of any year since monthly records began in 2003. Throughout the entire capital, the number of young people injured with a knife has fallen by 26%, homicides are down 17%, gun crime with lethal barrel discharge fell by 43%, and burglary is down 27% since 2016.
