Van broken into Hindmans Road further update

[lilolil]

Could people have a look out for the following items as they were stolen from a van in Hindmans Road overnight!

Blue Addidas coat

Beige back pack containing keys, tools and a card reader.

Please private message if you come across any of these items, thank you!

[lilolil]

We now have cctv showing the person with the bag going into a house at the lower end of Hindmans close to Family stores. Sadly the police won?t help get the property back.

[SpringTime]

Why won't the police help you get the property back, Lillie? Have they seen the CCTV footage? Perhaps you can post the footage in case there's a match between this theft and others already posted here on the forum.

[lilolil]

They said not to go down there and to ring the crime management team in the morning by which time we know that the property will either have been sold or disposed of.

The footage only shows him walking down the road wearing a hoodie and carrying the rucksack,you cannot see his face but it is clear which house he went into. It is a multi household property.

My son did speak to one of the occupants who wasn?t the nicest of people.

Sadly it seems that the police don't seem to want to get involved in certain crimes. A friend's phone was stolen recently ? she could see the address where it was on her find a phone app but the police wouldn't assist.

Have PM

I think the address you are talking about is a halfway house for alcoholics and drug abusers ... dont want to judge but probably alot of the crime in the area may result in some of the occupants on there ie burglaries car break ins etc.... it's also a disgrace that the plod wont come to deal with certain crimes in my book a crime is a crime no matter how small it is....

Yes, that?s the one.

Police have been updated but doesn?t seem to be much they can do.

I remember years ago we had a beat officer called Bruce. If he was still around, he?s come in, have a cup of tea and then say ?Let?s go and sort this out?

Things have changed eh?

Thank you, I have emailed her.

The old bill are to busy nicking people for saying naughty things on the interweb!!!

[Drxyster]

Good heavens people, surely you cannot expect the police to be involved with crime, they would lose their jobs if they did !!!

They've told you that the case is closed?

All they have said is that we are not to go there and they will investigate. Very frustrating and disappointing. Feeling very let down.

We have 2 sets of cctv with indisputable evidence but no signs of police assistance.

[Woodo]

Please can you share this address? If the authorities won't assist then perhaps others will. As they should.

[SpringTime]

Pitchforks and burning torches at the ready!

[lilolil]

There must be support workers attached to this place. I?d like to find out who oversees it.

And yes, it makes you want to take matters into your own hands.

I wonder if they had stolen from a police officer or their family the protocol would be the same?

[lameduck]

So these people are above the law

they can do what they like?

I realise the police are over stretched, and when they do catch criminals, sentences are a joke.

But they could at least go through the motions of visiting said house

it is disgusting.

Perhaps some provincial Indian village justice is required.

[Peckhamnearbe]

No thanks kidkruger; too many completely innocent people have been brutally murdered- usually on communal grounds. Very poor taste. A horrible incident just happened this week. Not even the weak and elderly spared. We don?t want that sort of thing here.

Agreed. There's much more "mob" than "justice" in "mob justice".

[lilolil]

We don't want violence or trouble, just the property returned. Much too late for that I expect.

Support from the police would be very welcome.

[ianr]

What specific support are you thinking of?

From the police of course?.who you turn to when a crime has been committed!

[lilolil]

Further update to say that some of the keys were found close to the junction of Henslowe and Underhill Road. They had been thrown into a bush! If you could check your front gardens for keys, a charger or small tools we would be grateful, thank you!

And a huge thank you to the person who found them!
