Please be vigilant as you are walking home in this area over the coming days...


At 4pm today I was 100m from my home, listening to music on my iPhone when two men on a moped/motorbike mounted the pavement behind me and snatched the phone out of my hands before riding off towards Lordship Lane/the A205.


I've reported the crime to the police/mobile phone company/insurers and I also feel stupid for not being more vigilant/allowing my phone to be in plain view outdoors, but at least I'm not harmed.


Please do look after yourselves and your phones as I imagine the same people will probably be trying a few sweeps of the area.

At around 4.30 pm at the junction of Frogley road and Lordship Lane a lady was on her phone outside of the shop I work in and two guys on a black scooter type motorbike drove onto the pavement and tried to snatch the phone from her hand ,luckily enough she managed to hang onto her phone. I called the police and reported it and there is a good chance they would be seen on the shops CCTV. She was shaken but unharmed thankfully . Seems to be a regular thing happening in the area ,so please be vigilant .
Thanks for this Ozzy - it sounds like the same guys. I hope no-one else was affected. The police are coming to see me on Sunday so I'll mention this too. If anyone else has experienced anything like this recently, please PM me and I'll forward this information on to the police as well.

Sorry to hear this, glad you're unharmed and no you're not in the least stupid - 100% of the blame is on the perpetrators.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
