Peckham Rye Park Mugging

[PeckhamRose]

The Meeting is TONIGHT. Hope you can all come.

[henryb]

Are there any more details on the description?

[PeckhamRose]

Last night (for those of you who did not attend) muggings were one of the priorities that the local snt teams will concentrate on. Please forward all info you may have to Sgt Cook. Look at my thread re Police info (I am hoping will be a sticky) for details of how to contact him or go to the met police website and work it out like I did.

henryb what more description are you looking for and for what reason?

[henryb]

You want to know why I would like a detailed description of people who go around violently attacking people close to my home?

?3 young men, 2 white/1 black? isn?t very specific.

my sister and partners school age brother have both been approached and mugged of their money and phones in peckham rye park one at gunpoint (real or fake doesnt matter) and I know through intellegence that groups of boys go on a daily basis looking for people to rob. Especially after school as a lot of teenagers congregate there after school. You have to be very vigilant as these young boys do not care and have respect for anyone including adults nowadays.

make your children aware that this is common and tell them to keep their valuables as safe as they can.It a unpredictable world and youngsters have no boundaries.

Glad to hear this is being taken seriously...and police are raising their profile in the park... not sure I would call being threatened with a bottle a case of 'teenage hyperbole'. And I had bought my son a ?20 Samsung, in the expectation that he would be less vulnerable.... but as I said to a friend recently this is SE15 (where I am) inner city etc etc.

Mark is in fact a community warden.He is based in Peckham Rye Park at the little office to the side of the toilet block (door usually open if in, out on patrol or on a rest day if closed).

He would be very interested in a decent description of the assailants if anyone has one as he makes several patrols of the park each day and would like an idea of who to look out for.

Breaks my heart they way a small minority behave, my son in the past month has been asked for his mobile three times, good job he hasn't got one eh. He told me about it several hours/ days later I think he almost thinks of it as mundane!

next time it happens I am reporting to the police.
