Thieves broke into small retail premises in Forest Hill SE23

[Brideshead]

Thieves are breaking into small retail premises in Forest Hill SE23 using hydraulic jacks to force up metal security shutters.

Last week over two evenings SIX 6 premises were burgled of cash & stock.

You can bet next stop is up the road to East Dulwich.

Be aware!!!

Thanks for the heads up on this activity.

Is this on Forest Hill Road, Honor Oak Park or actually in Forest Hill itself?

Do you know which retail businesses have been robbed?

[Brideshead]

An Indian Takeaway, a builders caf & 4 other small retail units.

Lower Forest Hill (not upper Forest Hill ie Dartmouth road etc)

They don?t mess about, they make off with entire till after damaging secondary doors.

Last Wednesday/ Thursday.

Obviously they have found a particular technique.

That?s all I know!

Lower Forest Hill - is that the area that encompasses Sainsburys ,The Weatherspoons in the old cinema , Forest Hill Station?

For so many break-ins in one area, there is nothing to be found in any online searches.

Lower Forest Hill downhill from Wetherspoon

Around the former Topps Tiles further down south circ to Lewisham

Was half hoping somebody would post ?our local beat officers already warned all the shops in East Dulwich?

Why is this down to me. Sigh? 😞

By the way why was my thread title rewritten from ?South East London Crime Wave???

6 shops turned over over 2 evenings not a crime wave?

What?s wrong with ?crime wave?. Sigh 😌

Wow!

Was not changed by me. Presume it was Admin? Admin, can you comment please.

Also it?s been moved to ?The Lounge? twice so nobody is going to read it.

Anyway funny certain people thought I made it all up for some odd reason before it got independently confirmed 🤣🤣🤣.

The ED Forum. Chuckle.

Don?t care that much but just surprised ?Crime wave? is deemed unacceptable.
