Meet the vigilante mums who are taking crime fighting in London into their own hands
Dozens of concerned mums in Enfield come together after school every day, amid longstanding fears for the safety of local children, to walk the streets and talk to kids in a bid to drive down crime."One of them was by the same person twice," Ms Coletta told LBC.
"It got to the point where [my son] was wanting a lift everywhere, because he was only 16 then he couldn’t drive a lift here, there and everywhere - whereas they would just jump on buses before. So it did have an impact on him.""It’s a bit of a kick in the teeth really," she added. "When we first started, the month before we started, 19 young boys were mugged for their mobile phones and money, and they were taken down side streets..
Enfield has a serious problem with street crimes like robbery and theft. Theft increased a staggering 17% in the year to September 2022, the latest figures on record, compared with the twelve months to September 2021.Meanwhile robbery was up nearly 4% in the borough over the same period.
