Altima Court break in (man arrested)

[mrnzjac]

Just so the people who live in Altima Court know, we had our 1st floor flat broken into on Tuesday night, it seems that the offenders climbed up onto our balcony and through our kitchen window. We were in bed asleep at the time. Also two weeks ago our friends car had it's back window smashed in, it was parked in the 'Secure' underground carpark. Can every please keep an eye out !

Sorry to hear this, a really horrible experience. I've lived in this building for about

4.5 years, and unfortunately there have been a number of incidents involving thefts and break ins.

I wonder if because the development is gated at the back, residents have a false sense of security - I don't

necessarily mean you, but for example last summer our neighbours on the first floor were burgled, however they had left their french doors unlocked, and the thief/thieves had climbed up onto their balcony with relative ease and gained entry. Foolishly we used to leave our ground floor doors open on summer nights before this incident, but not anymore!

There is a meeting with the police on June 2nd with regard to Altima Court, I will check details and let you know more, though I suspect the notification may have been posted in response to your break in and you will be aware.

Hi there, We hadn't heard about the meeting, can you let me know the details ? We had a call from the police today saying that they had arrested a man for our break in and a number around East Dulwich. They have been brilliant !

That's great news.

The meeting I referred to is on June 2nd at Harris Academy on Homestall Rd - 7pm.

The police will be present to discuss security issues, and Altima Court residents are

invited to attend.
