Lacon Road was closed with police tape at 10pm tonight, Saturday, and at least three patrol cars were present. An officer told me residents of a house had heard shots - and two 'casings' had been found, presumably from handgun bullets. Dogs were searching for more at the time.

No-one hurt. But did anyone see or hear anything that could be connected? A mystery, and not what you want on your way to the shop...

I was in my back garden which backs onto Lacon rd , and heard a motor bike scream down the road and thought it had back fired twice ! Which had set off car alarms !!!! I thought this happened around 7.30 just before I went back inside. I didn't even think about it until I saw the road was closed when I went to the shop half an hour ago...

Lordy, I thought I was going mad last night! I was in the kitchen and looked up because I heard one bike go past very fast, and then I saw at least one more hare by with the rider's hand outstretched and several bangs. My first instinct was that it was a shooting but it happened so fast and I saw no detail. My boyfriend and I concluded it must have been the bike backfiring as it wasn't hugely loud... Sounded a bit like firecrackers.

this really takes the piss, what is this, Compton?!


frequency of knife and firearm incidents are really on the increase, maybe not in absolute terms but no spilling over into areas that are regarded as less 'front line'.


lets hope they can crack down sharpish.


glad no one was hurt at least, this time.

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
