We live in Dawsons Heights and saw 4 police officers with guns run down our driveway, down Overhill Road and towards Lordship Lane. Anyone have any other details? Flatmates aren't home yet, I've told them to stay away for a while just in case.
It?s outside my house. The pulled over a car which was initially blocking the road then armed police started searching ours and neighbouring gardens looking for a man in a khaki hooded top who was armed. Doing thorough search then asked residents to move to the front of their properties away from windows overlooking back gardens where they weee searching. The helicopter has moved over but police are still searching. And road still blocked off.

Hi sorry just seen this I?m at 176 overhill next door to old rockbank

Hotel. All clear by around 8.45. Was a bit strange especially when they made everyone in the cars stuck on the street to evacuate to the end of the street. Very strange seeing the abandoned cars and hearing the police looking for him in the gardens. Hope there wasn?t gunshots like someone thought they might have heard and that everyone was ok when search moved over to upland road.

Has anyone seen any mention of this in the media? If not, that makes TWO incidents of armed police and gun crime within a 100 yards of each other with minimal media attention in the last two months.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
