Break in on Crystal Palace Road - Do you recognise this bloke

[Melph91]

Hi, this man broke into my second floor flat on Crystal Palace road today at 2pm after ringing the intercom for 3 minutes.

He walked in, around the flat being caught on camera (see attached image - video too large to upload here but is doing the rounds on facebook). He then noticed a camera infront of the front door, shouted some profanities, stole the camera and disappeared.

I have no doubt he would have taken more had he not seen the cameras and frankly coming home with a baby and 5 year old to a broken door and no idea if someone is inside the flat has pissed me off a bit. So if you know or recognise him please get in touch. The police are circulating his image.

Thanks xx

Do you have a link to the video? Or PM me and I'll find a way to put it up here.

What end of CPR are you, there are quite a few neighbours with CCTV. In between the actress and cawthew grove.

We are just past Cawthew (not very far though), before the leisure centre

How awful, what a looser who should get a proper job. Glad you and your children were not at home.

That's a very good image. Best of luck with catching him.

The image is great.....

The voice even better!

I wonder what his excuse was for being in your home?

I'm so sorry you've been put through this but really pleased you've got such a good image of him.

We were burgled not long ago, in the middle of the night, whilst we were at home, so I can imagine what you are going through. In my experience they tend to be fairly unsophisticated repeat offenders so I am keeping my fingers crossed that the police manage to identify him. and catch him for you. A conviction (which will be very much assisted by a photo of him in your home) usually results in a custodial sentence.

Good Luck and keeping fingers crossed!

[Melph91]

Thanks Miss Wiggy, he stole a camera which ironically makes it burglary rather than just breaking and entering so I'm hoping so!

I can't find the vid anywhere. Admin, have you had any luck?

[Administrator]

Just the FaceBook link via PM which it's up for Melph91 to share publicly if they want to. I was hoping it could be put up on Vimeo, Youtube or similar so I could embed it on here but no luck I'm afraid.

I can upload a video link to YouTube if that helps Admin?

[Melph91]

Hi sorry incredibly overwhelmed by responses. Please search Crystal Palace Road SE22 on facebook

[worldwiser]

Especially love the bit when he sniffs his armpit. So sorry this happened to you and I really hope they catch the asshole. Can you recommend your cctv, make/model etc?

This thread was brought to the attention of ward police officers at the L.P.T meeting last night at Caf? G. They said they were aware of the matter.

[Melph91]

Thanks pipsky, we had the new ward officer, PC fodor, round this morning who was infinitely helpful.

The cameras were Yi cameras from amazon. Cheap and cheerful, probably saved us lots this time.

Please can someone post a link to the vid thank you
