Teenager tried to steal my bike

[lbsmith73]

just to be warned, a teenager tried to steal my bike when i left it in the front garden to pop back into my house to get something. I came out and he was riding my bike down the road, i chased him down forest hill rd and into park, I was about to catch him when he jumped off my bike and ran into the woods. Bike safe but i was a bit out of breath!

There was a robbery in Netherby road very late last night with huge police presence. Please be vigelant.

Nice work mate that must have taken some doing ! I would have lasted about 20 secs

Well done!

[CPFCfan]

Well done. I'm not sure I would have been so brave.

Dbboy - any more info on the Netherby Road robbery?

[ladywotlunches]

Well done LBsmith - glad he didn't get away with it.

dbboy - very concerned to hear about the Netherby road incident. Can you share any more details? Was it a burglary or street robbery?

ETD to say - CPFCFan our messages crossed in the ether. Though there are also some allegiances to the Eagles in this house :)

[dbboy]

CPFCFan and Ladywotlunches - will pm you

It was a robbery in the street, 3 males robbed a couple walking along Forest Hill Road. 2 were arrested......

[dbboy]

Ok - sorry I was told it was in Netherby, my mistake then, apologies.

[LondonMix]

What time of night was this and how were they caught?

[sheilarose]

It was around 11.30pm/midnight. The police cordoned off a section of Forest Hill Rd and wouldn't let our dinner guests leave our house while they combed the front gardens and Cabrini grounds.

[dbboy]

That explains the increas in traffic over canonbie about that time.

[Tylertoes]

The robbing cowards ran and hid in a garden in Netherby Road & yes it was around 2315hrs............

[LondonMix]

Ah, so it was near Honor Oak. Glad the police got there quickly enough to catch them. How upsetting for those involved. I have to say the idea of being robbed scares me much more than break-ins. That they weren't intimidated by a couple is all the more worrying.

[hoser]

Probably unrelated, but you never know - 3 males were involved in a street robbery not too far away about a week ago.

My partner told me that he saw a teenager attempt to mug someone for their mobile on dog kennel hill near Sainsbury's last week. It was 6pm! The muggee was considerably bigger however and told him where to go. I am glad it wasn't me, I don't think I would have been able to do the same.

Those blasted teenagers!!! One of the naughty wee rascals I swear nicked off with my recycling bin from right byt Goose Green, next to the EDT - anyone else seen this??

[dbboy]

If memorary serves me right there was a spate of street robberies around the p12 bus stop infront of cabrini last year

I have just had to call the police after catching two 12-13 yr olds (the boys were about 5ft max, white, slight build, and wearing hoodies) stealing a new Vespa on Ondine Road. I was weighed down with sainos bags but challenged them and they eventually ran off with the moped. If you live in the area, make sure you lock up/protect any bikes as best as you can.

[MrDude21]

It's ridiculous how youths today feel whatever they see they must take and have, very rude, nice to hear that you are safe, try report it to the police.

[TillieTrotter]

Certainly never happened in my day!!

[DJKillaQueen]

Half the problem is that even if caught there is no real punishment for them. And because of that, older criminals/ fences use minors to do the crime for them. Tagging for a couple of months is about as serious as it gets for minors.

I had my Vespa stolen outside my flat on Ondine Road between Friday around 7pm and Saturday at around 9am. It is a light blue Vespa and was parked outside number 42 Ondine Road. I am desperately trying to find it again, or at least get a lead on who took it. Does this sound like what you saw?

Thanks

Neil
