Hi All, just been mugged in Goodrich road - not to worry, no serious injuries.


Young black male asked me what phone I had, I said not a good one, then he hit me over the side of the head with a brick and started demanding I hand over the phone. I tried to reason with him but to no avail. Fortunately a fellow Goodrich resident came to the rescue in a car and he ran away (thank you!).


FYI - be aware if you're getting off the 12 on Barry road, that's where he started following me. Kudos to the Goodrich dude who was more than willing to give his details as a witness!!


Thanks

Dean

sorry to hear about ur ordeal, at least ur ok!


i never take that route home late at night, safer to take a cab i say! i always found it to be a route which im wary of... its fairly quiet there, esp late night....... my friend who lives on crystal palace rd always comes home late at night alone... i've always been against it but she seems fine about it!


these people need to get a life!!! or a bloody job..... their behaviour is ridiculous!!!!!!!

Hi Dean,

Really sorry to hear this happen to you must have been pretty scarey. Glad you are ok and seemto be dealing with it well, but you must report it. The police round here have been really hepful in my experience, and it really won't take long at all to report so please reconsider. They may be able to track him from the bus stop or get him on CCTV.

Sazzle

The CVTV on the bus will show him, if he followed you off the bus that is. I use that stop all the time and have on occasion used it and the 12 late at night, I do watch who gets off at the same time but I suppose by then it's too late anyway :-( hate that bus!! Were you heading towards the CAstle or Domkey Alley? There is a real dark corner towards the Castle where I believe this has happened before!
Dean - I am so sorry about what has happened but every time the Piolice Ward Panel meet - which anyone is invited to come along to - they beg us to beg people to report what happens to them whether they think they can't identify the perpertarors or not. If more people reported everything that happened like this then the police could collect the info and rightly demand more resources. Every panel we attend we are invited to suggest three areas for them to take particular action and concentrate on - and then at the next meeting we find that they have often sorted the problem. You must - please - report this crime.
Another plea/nag - please report it. You will be doing yourself and the rest of us a favour. Being hit on the bonce with a brick is a serious assault! I often use that route and have walked home at all hours and never felt really threatened ever, but this has made me think again.

Dean I am gonna go against the flow here and say firstly glad you dont feel it too serious, and secondly if you report it to the police there is a fair chance nothing will ever come of it as your phone is not in use, and no doubt you have a sketchy description as these things happen so fast. If you're over it then perhaps its best left to fade out of your life like a distant unimportant memory, These crack heads just want a phone to call there dealer and to be honest there's a good chance that had you given it to him he would have chucked it after one call or traded it for one rock. Thanks for the heads up and letting us all know about it, but you don't have a responsibility to report it for the sake of anyone else who may get mugged, the fact is that these people do it all the time and there may be a dozen reports on the same guy in the system collecting dust. Your responsibility is to your self and the people you love not the people who may or may not get mugged in the future, you have warned us and thanks for that.


good luck with getting on with life


hugs as ever


easy.xx

Dean - really sorry to hear about your terrible ordeal, must have been v. frightening. Very lucky that a fellow resident was around at that time.


Glad you warned people on here. I have to admit I have been wary of returning to ED on the number 12 esp. late at night - not to say that the walk from LL on the 176/185/40 is any better.


Obviously its your choice but I would try to report this if I were you, it is not an insignificant matter and you are entitled to make your voice heard. I hope you recover soon. Take care, K xx

hey dean


exactly the same situation happened to me last night(Saturday 13Th), two black males around 17-19 approached me at the bus stop on Barry road. they just got really close. asked where im from and then started asking me what phone i have. when they asked for it i just gave it to them and then had my wallet searched but they only decided they wanted my oyster! either way they were going to leave with my phone so i decided there was no point confronting them.


20 mins later after i had been back to my mates to get a bike they saw me again and chased me down Barry road for the bike this time! Bastards! i don't recognise the boys but I regularly ride round the area and have been chased for my bike on barry road before. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same boys. im going to report it today as if its happened a couple of night's in a row theres a high chance someone else is going to be targeted in this area again.

please please report it. like everyone has said he may be on cctv. if no one reports the police cant identify where there is a problem. i'm a police officer and when someone is hit with a brick, i would want to do something about it but unfortunately officers like me wont get a chance to help you and their future victims without the information.

East Dulwich police station is often quiet, i've never had to wait to speak to someone.

I know people that work on the Peckham Rye and Dulwich Safer Neighbourhood wards and they are both very friendly/approachable. The other option would be to call the police on 0300 123 1212 and they will send someone to the house to see you. Also might be an idea to see a doctor just to check you over.

Take care, hope you're not to shaken up

PS. I'm sure you already have but call the phone company and get them you cancel it.

    • Hi, i have an amazing mobile mechainc who will be able to help you I am sure 07706423620 - George, he has done work on a range of my vehicles and always does it professionally - very technical and competent 
    • Hi all, I’m looking for a local photographer for one hour on Sunday 21st at 6pm in East Dulwich. We’re doing a food prep session and I’d love some natural, professional shots of: • Food being plated • Prep in action • A few team shots • Some finished dish photos We’re a small independent food business and don’t have a big budget for this one, but happy to agree a fair hourly rate and credit/tag you on all content. If anyone local is building their portfolio or fancies a quick paid shoot, please DM me with your rates and examples of your work.
    • Hi, not sure if anyone can help, I am having trouble with my car, a mechanical issue specific to this Peugeot model I have. I am looking to see if anyone knows of a garage nearby that has Peugeot knowledge and can help ( I also need to get the car towed there) I have tried stellantis in Croydon and Wimbledon, who are bloody difficult to get hold of for a start (took me a week to get some sort of reply) they can’t  book me in for over four  weeks, want £200 just to have a look at it first, and it’s a fare way for me to pay to have it towed Considering this is where I got the car from I,d thought they would be more helpful, but hey. just thought I would see if anyone had any recommendations on here for someone nearer.
    • on a practical level found here these have very positive feedback:   Danny - 07943 673482 joeast 12/09/23 Just had my roof replaced by Danny (mobile 07943 673482) who I would highly recommend. He is honest, clean, reliable and explained the work and sent photos as the work progressed. His initial estimate for costs was detailed and close to the actual price of the job. jamondo 07/12/24 Another recommendation for Danny here!  After carrying out extensive work on our property in 2018, we have constantly had problems  with the newly built roof.  Then followed numerous fixes and bodges by the builders then by other so called 'experts' and professionals' charging extortionate amounts and / or giving guarantees that amounted to nothing.  Lots of 'it could be this and that etc...'  Sadly our tale of woe is not uncommon. After getting a number of people to look at the roof - the consensus was that the whole roof needed redoing (it was clear that by now the roof looked a mess with multiple things done wrong or poorly).  We obtained quotes and decided to go with Danny - his was the most competitive but it was not overriding factor behind why we did.  Danny made clear what the quote covered and where there might be extra work required as he got to it (this was fairly minor). He was easy to get a hold of and responded promptly and he was also happy to offer up refences which I did contact and all were happy to vouch for him. Minor downside was that we had a bit of a wait, but it was worth it.  When work started I was kept updated with progress and photos.  Issues were dealt with, and although I'm not an expert by any means the appearance of the work was top.  Most importantly we are leak free! bonzo 17/05/25 Needed a new rear roof for terrace house in East Dulwich and heard about Danny Denton (07943 673482). Have worked with over 20 builders in the past but this guy was way the best - polite, hard working, honest, professional, informative, highly skilled and above all quoted lower than any of the others who came down to view the job. If you need roofing work I would definitely give him a call. If he's busy working else where I assure you he is well worth waiting for. He got the scaffold up and job finished in no time and kept me informed at every stage. Another roofer (who appears on this forum) gave a quote which was three times higher than Danny's.   #########################################################   Norwood Roofing 07412 000 214 Email Address: [email protected] Website: https://norwoodroofing.co.uk/ Fee163 01/01/26 Another 5 star recommendation for David and Patrick. Got in touch with David last week regarding clearing our gutters and as always he quoted immediately and came out within the week to do the job.  We've used David and Patrick for all our roof work for almost 10 years .   They also did an amazing job for my sister who is based outside the area - she couldn't easily find someone local and they stepped in and did a fantastic job (it was quite a big job).  Can't recommend them highly enough, really personable, always reliable and so easy to work with and consistent, just wouldn't work with anyone one else!  Thanks again David and Patrick. caroline5553 12/01/26 Another recommendation for David and Patrick. David came out the same day we called, had scaffolding up by the weekend and the job done on Monday. Really nice guys, never made me feel uncomfortable, easy to work with and seemed to have done a great job. Thanks, David and Patrick! sheppick 15/12/25 I would also recommend David and Patrick. David quoted immediately, and they came and did the work I needed the following week. They fixed my leaking roof and did a number of other jobs for me that were needed on the roof. Really reliable, turned up on time and very reasonable quote. Super easy to deal with and I would highly recommend.  #################################################################   Which Trusted Trader R Tredget & Son 07905829393 or 07956553852  [email protected] http://www.rtredgetandson.com/ OUR FEATURED WORKS Roofing, plumbing, kitchen installation, building, interior decorating, electrical installation, bathroom installation, exterior decorating, tiling, plastering, landscaping & carpentry 02/08/25 This is the second time R. Tredget & Son have carried out works on our property. Part of the work included the repair of cladding on an end gable that Richard had previously installed but it had since been accidentally damaged by another trades-person. I assumed I'd pay for such repair work, as the damage was no fault of his own, but when we discussed this, Richard was adamant he would not charge! Made a lovely job of the repair too. When you turn your home (or part of it) over to builders it often feels like they've taken over. Not so with Richard, Adam and Harrison. They respect your property and are willing to work with you. They keep you informed at every stage, offering suggestions and alternatives as appropriate and they don't take liberties. We are so glad to have found R. Tredget & Son builders: quality work from reliable, hard-working and courteous folks. 10/10/24 Multiple jobs complete to a high standard We've used Richard for a few years now getting our house complete. He and his team have completely refitted our kitchen, replaced ceilings, built internal and external walls, laid flooring, plastered, decorated, fixed guttering, fit skirting boards; the list goes on! They take pride in their work, and every job we've needed doing, they've always done to a high standard. No job was too big or too small for them, and I've no doubt the quality work they've done has increased the value of our house, so a big thanks again for everything they've done. 17/04/24 A Great Family Run Company This was our first time having works done in a new house so we were understandably nervous! From the first meeting with Richard and Adam we knew that we would be in good hands. Nothing that we wanted done was too much of an issue, even if it was a bit more of a challenge to them (unlike some other quotes we got!). They gave clever suggestions but weren't pushy with it and had good ideas! We had a whole new bathroom installed and then some structural work done around the house. The guys always made sure that they left the house in a clean state at the end of every day, which really made a difference to our standard of living during the works. Richard, Michelle, Adam, and H were trustworthy and communication was perfect throughout. We used some of their guys for boiler/electrics too and they were also great. Would highly recommend taking them on for your works!
