Yesterday evening sillyboy was mugged for his bike in Peckham. He was surrounded by 3 boys & 'steered' into Warwick Gardens (Park?). The boys made him get off his bike, hand over his money, his bike lock & the key to his lock, they were about to take his bike when the police appeared, called by some ladies in the park who had seen what was happening. The boys tried to make my son ride off with them, to make it appear as if he was one of them, & no doubt to take his bike from him in a more secluded location. My son rode a small way then turned & rode straight to the police who gave chase.


They didn't catch them, but a boy who was in the park at the time & witnessed the mugging was able to recognise one of them & from his description the police have since been able to arrest a boy - already known to them & apparently a 'nasty piece of work'. The women stayed with sillyboy & comforted him until the police came back. The police were very kind to him & talked to him for over an hour, before bringing him & his bike home to me.


So Thankyou Police for speedy action on the 999 call, and for being kind to my very shaken son afterwards. And Thankyou ladies who didn't just 'walk on by', but took the initiative to make the call then stayed with my upset son & comforted him. And Thankyou young man for having the courage to speak to the Police when you recognised one of the muggers.


This was of course an unpleasant experience for my son, but you all helped to make it so much better than it might have been, and possibly to prevent it happening to someone else. You have all given me heart and made me even prouder than I was before to be a South-Londoner. THANKYOU.

Isn't it great to know that at least one of the thieving mugging no good riff-raff got his just deserts.


Hooray!


I am glad your boy kept his bike and his self respect but it was certainly a most unpleasant ordeal for him.


Good for him for having the presence of mind to thwart their heinous activities.

hooray hooray for proactive locals, quick acting police & brave boy who identified one of the gang! Shows that if we all do our bit we can beat the thugs. And hope your son is as recovered as can be expected after what must have been a really nasty experience for him.

Yeah PR - I know it's not just sarf London, it happens everywhere.


Taper - the police said they'd increased their presence around Warwick Gardens because there are a couple of gangs who've been operating like this there for a while. So they're obviously aware of the problem & acting on it - and in this instance, it worked!


Son is fine, Thanks to all who expressed concern/ interest. the experience will make him warier(sp?), which can only be a good thing really for a teenage boy in a big city.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
