Sadiq Khan has promised a 3m gangbusters crackdown on high street crime if he is re-elected as mayor. The funding will pay for street-based youth workers to prevent young people from being caught up in crime.
Up to 15 boroughs will benefit from the youth workers based on robbery crime data. A pilot project will empower police to inspect second-hand mobile phone shops without a warrant, aiming to disrupt the illegal market.
Khan aims to develop an R100' data-led approach to target prolific robbery offenders, inspired by the successful V100' initiative for violence against women. This plan prioritizes the safety of Londoners, especially on high streets facing gang activity.
