Dangerous hit and run driver (Garden wall damage)

[gabys1st]

Garden wall damage by dangerous HIT and RUN driver. On Friday 16th at approx. 2.30 pm a corner of our Belleneden Rd front garden wall was knocked down by a grey couple.

A neigbour saw the tail end of the incident and reports that there were to people in the front of the car, one of whom was looking very distraught.Unfortunately the neighbour was unable to get the Registration no.

The grey car involved has to have been seriously damaged as the end pier was strenthened with metal

If you have very recently noticed a badly damaged grey coupe parked/abandoned could you please let me know, together with it@ Reg. No,

This was an act of very dangerous driving - someone cd have been badly hurt - the driver needs to be found

I have a tremor and find it impossible to put location of incident, however it happened Lidl's end of Bellenden Rd. The car cd be anywhere.

If you are fairly local did your CTV pick anything up of the getaway?

I wd be grateful if you wd circulate ..Thank you.

As ever report to the police

[gabys1st]

Was reported straight away, trouble is have very little info tto go on. Only use is need to have done it for insurance purposes shd we decide to go down that route.

Hi there - I would try the shops near you as quite a few have external CCTV nowadays. Given you know the direction the car drove off and the exact time it happened I reckon you stand a good chance of catching the driver on camera.

Good luck!

Agreed, but do it soon as they may not keep the recording very long.

Good luck from me too!

thanx but donyt know which direction car wentin..we are in a 1 way system tho'.

Someone had done a google view of the area showing CCTV - gonna try those.

One on a lamp post so must be a council one? at a Junction that looks promising. cameras foccused on their shp front???

Thought shop CTV

Wd still ask further afield as well as locally that if any one saw/ sees a badly damaged grey couple after 3.oo pm any where that they take a note of reg. no.

Thanks for ur input.

Wasn't far from two drivers racing each other yesterday on Norwood Road, mid evening. Never seen anything like it in London, well over 70mph and cms apart from each other and a parked van that I instinctively hid behind with my pushbike. But not practicing what I preach I have not yet reported it as it happened so fast I got no make, model of number plates. Racing on the public road is an offence.

Southwark Council has a CCTV manager. Try the main switchboard

Hope you manage to track them down. A similar thing happened to my parent (not locally) where a car ploughed through their front garden and then drove off.

[gabys1st]

Undortunately No...leaving to Police now.

Did anyway get Reg no. of car that smashed your parents wall?

Gussing my dangerous driver will get away with it...GRRRR...can't see anyone having the time to sit n watch rerun CCTV cameras.

[Earl Aelfheah]

I don't think they ever found there person who ploughed through my parents front garden. There were no witnesses

[Ruskin]

Hope you get the damage sorted soon. I can imagine the driver loding control over the speed hump that's a few metres away. Given the distance from the junction however, hard to achieve.

Ah - you have seen the damage.

The speed bump has only just been er elongated... coupe must still have been going very fast.

[Ruskin]

Yes we saw it on the way to Lidl. Indeed, a fast acceleration from the junction before taking off over the hump. I do wonder how far the car made it afterwards!

Yep, Pier /gate post with tiling on it has steel re-inforcing so car must have been badly damaged and going far too fast. A Trevor on here kindly google mapped and found CCT cameras, have tried the council as one of thiers must have picked up it up - automated reply said to forward it to XXXX.. Police not being very helpful. I can't see how car can have got out of local area with out being caught by a camera. Have given up now, and handed whole thing over to insurance co. much as I woul like the driver to be punished for driving so dangerously

[Ruskin]

Well, you tried. Perhaps it's best to move on now.
