0:00:43 > 0:00:44is taken away by ambulance crews.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Amy saw the scenes unfold.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49I was just sitting on the sofa and I heard a couple of bangs
0:00:49 > 0:00:50and I thought maybe it was cars.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Obviously, they do come speeding around this corner sometimes.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56And then I started hearing sirens.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58I looked out and I saw police running here and there,
0:00:59 > 0:01:01and everyone was just gathering.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04You only live a couple of doors down with your family.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07It is scary to think that I could have been
0:01:07 > 0:01:08in there at that time.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09He could have been in there.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13He could have been in the buggy in there and it could have
0:01:13 > 0:01:14been totally different.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18It was in this chicken shop where the shooting took place.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38The following year there were just over 2500.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42An increase of 42%.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45The investigation is being led by the Met's Trident gang crime unit.

0:02:33 > 0:02:34thefts in North London.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37It's thought car thieves are using technology to block
0:02:37 > 0:02:39central locking systems, making it easier to steal from them.
0:02:39 > 0:02:49Charlotte Franks reports.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54This woman has aways been conscious of security when locking her car,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57so she was shocked to come back one day and find her door locked
0:02:57 > 0:02:59and her glove box rifled through.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I was going to go out but I found everything all over the place.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03I didn't know what to think.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07I even accused my daughter of going into my car while I was away.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11I puzzled over whether I had left it unlocked.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Just around the corner the same thing happened to Andrew.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I came back at 11.30 at night and was surprised to discover
0:03:18 > 0:03:21that the sliding door on the passenger side was open
0:03:21 > 0:03:27on the pavement side.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30The person who got in there was able to look into the rear
0:03:30 > 0:03:33cavity of the hatchback.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Both of them were victims of so-called key jamming.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39It's when criminals use a device to block a car's electronic signal
0:03:39 > 0:03:42to stop it from locking.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Over the last 12 months there's been a spate of key jamming incidents

0:03:54 > 0:03:57an 8% rise on the year before, and almost 2000 of those
0:03:57 > 0:04:01were here in Islington.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04But despite this increase the Met Police detection rate has dropped.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Some of it is down to resourcing and some of it is down to the fact
0:04:08 > 0:04:18there aren't as many opportunities for us to investigate the crime.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22With the crime often committed on residential roads there is less
0:04:22 > 0:04:24CCTV and people are wearing gloves so there are less
0:04:24 > 0:04:26forensics opportunities for us to follow up on.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Police say they are now working with car manufacturers to try
0:04:29 > 0:04:31and develop technology to prevent key jamming, but for now the only
0:04:31 > 0:04:34way to stop yourself becoming a victim is to manually check
0:04:34 > 0:04:35after you lock up.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Charlotte Franks, BBC London News.
