Hi all. Just in case this is happening elsewhere too, I thought I'd let you know. I witnessed a lady following the postmen as they went up Matham Grove today looking through all the doors, presumably to see if people were then coming to collect their post. I know this because I picked up my mail and saw a face peering in through the frosted glass. I opened the door to see who this was and she turned and walked away as quickly as she could. I asked "Can I help?" and she replied "Sorry wrong door". I then watched her do the same thing to about 5 or 6 more houses. Black lady with shoulder length black curly-ish hair, probably early 30s, wearing a peaked cap, shiny black jacket, light blue jeans and a backpack.


I've already reported it to the non emergency 101 police line, so they are aware of this behaviour. If anyone witnesses her or anyone else doing the same it's probably worth reporting it as well.

I live on Matham Grove. On Tuesday I had two rings at my door, a few hours apart. In both cases, by the time I opened the door (I work at the top of the house) there was no one there. I'm not naturally suspicious but it felt kind of wrong. Today the postman rang my bell - there was a package that wouldn't fit through the letterbox - but I can't say I saw anyone behind him.

    • Don't think there'll be much glee around today with what's happened in Poland and France 😕
    • Sounds a horrible, random attack, quite possibly for social media clicks, or some kind of sick initiation into goodness knows what - it is reported they were filming the incident. I do not really doubt that any of this is true. Perhaps the friend who reported it elsewhere does not want to be identifiable? There has been an emerging issue with different types of anti-social teenage/ young adult behaviour on the Rye this summer and this latest incident indicates a tipping point into something much nastier. The park should be a safe and enjoyable space for all.
