Anna27 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 FYI Today in Peckham Rye Park a couple of mopeds sped into the park past the skate park and then onto the lake area, they drove up and down a few times, unfortunately we missed the number plates but I did report to the police. Looked like a couple of youths, they had they're faces covered with balaclavas, as you can imagine the park was full of little ones, luckily no one was on the path! Felt like the aim was to intimidate. Obviously extremely dangerous please report if you see anything suspicious.

Jules-and-Boo Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Reporting it doesn't seem to be solving the problem, Renata.There are so many threads about moped crime and mobile theft, let alone daylight robbery - literally.Can you please provide some reassurance that this is being actively 'dealt with'?

esme Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I see mopeds up and down Barry Rd on occasion too, once one came off the Rye on to Barry Rd and nearly caused a crash. Crazy.

Earl Aelfheah Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 From the little I know, it appears quite a big and growing 'scene', just search on YouTube for 'bike life uk', or see https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/moped-gang-raise-it-up-uk-ace-cafe-londonThere a often big meet ups near Tower Bridge / Potters Fields. Often these kids have no plates and wear balaclavas. It's a big problem and only a matter of time until innocent pedestrians get killed. The police appear unable to stop it, and won't give chase for fear of causing an accident. The kids therefore behave with impunity. We've seen some huge 'rideouts in London' especially around Halloween.l, with bikes riding on pavements through Red lights in the wrong lane Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/148237-incident-in-peckham-rye-park-today/#findComment-1124504 Share on other sites More sharing options...
