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.

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
