Police carried out drugs warrants at three addresses in the borough on Thursday, 28 April resulting in one arrest for possession of drugs and two cannabis warnings.
A man aged 27 was arrested for possession after a quantity of suspected cannabis was found at a flat in Douglas Close, Wallington, after he opened the door to officers as they arrived at 08:10hrs. A man aged in his 20s received a cannabis warning after a small quantity of cannabis was found at an address in Mill Green, Mitcham. Another man, aged in his 40s, also received a cannabis warning after a small quantity of cannabis was found at an address in Winchcombe Road, Carshalton. The operations, which were based on information from the local community, were designed to disrupt and deter criminal behaviour around drugs possession and supply. Wallington and Carshalton MP Tom Brake is calling for a change in the law to give more power and protection to millions of private sector tenants.
He will be proposing a Bill in the House of Commons today to amend the Landlord and Tenant (Reform) Bill. His proposals, in line with those of Liberal Democrat Mayoral Candidate Caroline Pidgeon, would scrap unfair letting fees for tenants, require all landlords to register and give more resources to Councils to reduce the timescales involved in prosecuting private landlords who don’t maintain their properties to the right standards. Tom Brake MP said: ‘‘It is unacceptable that in 2016 millions of people still suffer daily from substandard housing and are victims of abusive rogue landlords’ often threatening to cut off utilities, entering homes without permission and failing to return deposits. “We need an effective and proper framework of regulation and enforcement to make sure that people are not at the mercy of rogue landlords.’’ Findings from a recent survey of local authority enforcement in the private rented sector carried out by Lib Dem London Assembly member Stephen Knight shows the enforcement of standards in the private rented sector by local authorities remains highly variable – with recent cuts to local authority budgets diminishing the resources available to councils to tackle those landlords who provide poor or unsafe living conditions.

The pensioner, who received and responded to thousands of unsolicited letters and phone calls from the UK, France, The Netherlands, Canada and Australia, first came to the attention of Sutton Trading Standards as a Priority Scam victim where mail, identified as scam mail, containing her bank details and a cheque, was seized along with other victims’ bank details. Police are appealing for witnesses after two men armed with crowbars burst into Sainsbury's, High Street, Carshalton, and jemmied open the tills whilst shoppers were queuing at the counter on Wednesday, 20 April at 21:40hrs.
They pushed aside the 23-year-old male shop assistant who fell to the floor and threatened a woman shopper, aged in her 40s, who had just come into the shop. The suspects grabbed a quantity of cash and left in the direction of the car park between the High Street and Brookside. The robbery lasted no more than a minute. No one was hurt. The suspects are described as two males, aged 18-early 20s. They were both wearing hooded tracksuits with the tops up. Enquiries are continuing. If you have any information contact Sutton CID on 101.
