Westminster is the most frequently targeted borough for luxury thefts, with 1,596 reported incidents this past year, nearly double that of the next borough, Kensington and Chelsea.
Dawn Mcknight emphasized that thieves often operate in affluent areas and tourist hotspots, scouting for luxury item owners and committing robberies even in broad daylight.
The surge in designer handbag thefts, rising 19% from last year, highlights a growing trend in luxury item crime, despite watch thefts seeing an overall decrease.
The use of undercover officers by the Met police to combat luxury item thefts indicates an intensified effort to address the increase in reported incidents in London.
