Three motorbikes (2 scooters and a regular bike) have been burnt out on the corner of Nutbrook and Adys just north of Goose Green.


They are completely destroyed, with severe damage to the road and to the house they were in front of.


This is a serious crime so if anyone has info, do go to the police. Anyone who parks their motorbike on the road in front of their house should be extra vigilent in the meantime.


Hope no one was injured or hurt. I live just round the corner but didn't hear any fire crews so not sure what the exact circumstances are.

I live nearby and woke up to sound of the fire and sirens of fire crew. Must have been about 4am. I didn't hear any disturbance (at least not loud enough to wake me) before that.


Fire crew must have been there for a good 45 minutes before being sure that the fire was out. No police or ambulances were at the scene so assume no one was hurt.


The house next to bikes is a in a bad state. Some other Nutbrook residents were outside their front doors when fire crew arrived so hopefully someone out there has more info about how this happened.

Hi all, it was my bike, and my neighbours bike that were burned out and my house that was damaged.


It looks as though someone set fire to one bike which ignited the other two which were parked close by, luckily there was a big gap between the last bike and anything else flammable which stopped the whole thing going down the street in a chain reaction. Even though the fire cracked the window the flames didn't manage to catch inside the house which would have meant the whole building going up in flames, and even more luckily, the downstairs neighbours were away that night so the rooms with most damage were uninhabited when the smoke got in there which would have been fatal no doubt as it was extremely toxic smoke and it was a babies room next to the street. So all in all, a lucky escape for everyone and just smoke damage and the loss of motorbikes.


If anyone knows who did this they should know that the person who started this fire very nearly caused the death of small child with their act of mindless violence and have caused thousands of pounds worth of damage, only a small proportion of which can be claimed back on insurance, not to mention the shock of waking up in the middle of the night with a ball of flames outside your bedroom window! They deserve to be dealt with by the police and shouldn't be sheltered from the consequences of their actions.


I'd just like to say thank you to all the people who have stopped and chatted to me and my lodger and expressed their shock, concern and support, it means a lot to know that neighbours are all good people who care. Thanks again.

PS I don't know who the owner of one of the bikes is, I have a feeling they are currently away on holiday, so if anyone knows who owns the blue scooter that is usually parked on the corner of Nutbrook St and Adys Road, if they could contact them and let them know that would be helpful also. Thanks.

I saw the bikes yesterday morning. Must have been a terrible shock, but glad to hear nobody was hurt and the damage to the house isn't too severe.


My first thought was that it must have been teenage vandalism, but not sure if that really ties in with the 4am timing.

    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did!
