Perpetrator Simone Cordell
109 Burncroft Avenue ENFIELD EN3 7JQ
Home visit to Ms Deborah Andrews flat. Attendees Dawn Allen TMO
and CPN Bola Quadri
Home visit to Ms Andrews advised that her neighbour at number 109 has
for the past few months harassed, intimidated, stalked her and made a life
a complete misery. He continuously plays loud music, bangs on her
ceiling and door alleging that she is monitoring his movements in his flat.
She feels petrified by his presence and as a result refused to leave her flat
for fear bumping into him on her way out. She has missed a few
appointments with her social worker as a result, she has now been
subjected to making home appointments pending the time this matter is
resolved. She explained that they use to be acquaintances before the
relationship went sour. She believes the whole problem started when he
claimed the decoration in his flat was damaged as a result of a leak
coming from her flat. She confirmed that she had a leak from her
overflow a few months ago which has since been repaired but, the damage
alleged had occurred. Ms Andrews also recalled an incident when the
perp spat in her face. It's been one issue after the other she advised the
recent event which took place a week ago. She was on her way out to
attend her appointment with her CPN when he apprehended her and
threatened to kill her. She was pretty shaken from the incident that instead
of attending her appointment, returned home immediately. She advised
that she contacted the police but, wasn't

taken seriously as they assumed, she was drunk at the time of the call. She
advised that she wasn't in the list drunk but, just the way she spoke due to
her condition. She still wasn't taken seriously and had to abandon the call.
She found this very frustrating and advised that it was not the first time
this would happen to her. Her CPN also confirmed her statement and
expressed her dissatisfaction at the way she was treated. Ms Andrews felt
completely let down by the police and became frightful for her safety
especially, as she knows the perpetrators has shells in his flat. I observed
in her flat that her floors were very creaky, I was made aware by Dawn
that most of the flats in the block are like that. Unfortunately, the
creakiness exacerbates the noise level in the flats and cause more
problems than usual. I advised that I will contact the police to make
further enquiries. I will also contact MHT to enquire if Mr Cordell is
known to them. At some point the perpetrator will need to be interviewed
and a warning letter issued on him. I will contact the repairs team and try
to arrange a surveyor to visit her flat and see what assistance can be
offered I further advised that her case will be investigated and an officer
will get back to her to discuss further with her. Her CPN and TMO will be
kept informed of updates
Bola Quadri has already put in place a safe guard alert.
