In each case, two or three teenage boys have harassed ASL middle or high school boys and have asked for money, phones or other personal electronics. Some incidents have involved physical assaults, threats and intimidation. Although shaken, our students were fortunately unharmed. Items were taken on two occasions. We are proud of our students for acting in their best interest under duress.<br><br>The ASL security team has interviewed the victims and their parents, and we have provided significant information to the Metropolitan Police, with whom we are working closely. The muggings may have been perpetrated by the same set of two or three teenage boys. <br><br>ASL has adjusted its security routines to increase our coverage of the area immediately around the School, and all security staff are aware of the profiles of the perpetrators. Additionally, we are meeting with neighboring organizations to address the problem. However, given the frequency and nature of these incidents, we recommend that the community use extra caution for the time being. Students should be aware of their surroundings at all times, avoid walking unaccompanied in the late afternoon or after dark, and conceal personal property when out and about in London. Should you feel unsafe for any reason, enter the nearest commercial shop or public establishment and ask for assistance. <br><br>Families can report any incidents to the police by dialing 999 immediately. We also ask that you report local incidents to ASL security. Our Head of Security, Roi Yefet, can be reached at 020 7449 1293.<br><br>Sincerely,<br>Robin S. Appleby<br>Head of School</span></span></p> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <table class="main" width="640" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="center" > <tr class="social-icons" align="center" > <td align="center" style="padding: 10px 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" style="color: ; padding: 10px 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" > <br> <br> <a href="http://email.mail2.veracross.com/c/eJxNUV2PgjAQ_DXwSPoBVR540KsYTIDcBU_wxZRapULBUJTjfv2Vu-RistnszG4mm5lzADnxCLaf_HQXve7ak1BMNqd7HRDouktvaVcBWyB_QSDkLsTY9ZFwBcclIvxy5lyQ0m6Cahju2sIrC4WmLkzJZnKeome877R2xMOwTDem60epeS_vg-xaAxVr2VVYOKzFZGEqpl1XHsJbdOtkcYhBShuVZhyl27BK6XWKvxOV0ng80s2YHDY4pRtcqGOd0lAVtw1KpkhH6qM6b0NZ5Enzq5MnOkcvnBzlMa9Glu8M1zxLGZHoFo1xVg8x3Q9xluzNTJIsIjFds_mebz8njvxHjtf9rBln_Cuhhby8m6dN2TJAAPrART70PQSRA5034HqrNQEr7AOy8IHlgtlb9OIL75TdB392mXUlZNtLXhneedRzKLyRoh0CY92M_rNZAALIDzNskRQ" target="_blank" style="color: ;"></a> <br> <p style="font-size: 10px;"></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="main" width="640" height="30"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <img width="1px" height="1px" alt="" src="http://email.mail2.veracross.com/o/eJw9jjsOwyAQBU8TSrQLyxoKCicHsRBgGRl_hBNLuX3sJuW8kZ4meYxsWIszDntux7YOeQmlDvvsGYmssWLyhIRszJgUaVQ8MoGymNKYgtXGGVG8AnRAyqEzCpVE-QIy_ZOh1w64c_AguI-VPHMLsW3HIeO2iObHsJT6vfSUy9pKnK5dfua7KNaS17cPR73pH9YBA_8AgFs4AQ"></body> </html>
