Crime is a serious issue everywhere we go and on the increase especially in Mitcham. There has been multiple crime related events in Mitcham involving everything you can think of. There are many older and vulnerable people living in the merton Borough especially Mitcham again. 2 friends of mine were recently involved in serious events one was very badly beaten by school kids and one I had to stand in front of to protect them from someone trying to take his motorcycle and helmet. Both of these incidents the people who committed the crimes got away with it due to no cctv in the town centre and it's just heartbreaking seeing and hearing it all something needs to be done.
