Mugging on Dunstans Road 12/11/25

[Frenchpolisher]

Just a quick note that my son was mugged last night on Dunstans Road just after 6pm. Two youths on bikes with balaclavas stole his phone, headphones and driver’s license near the mansion block next to Dawson’s Heights. Please be vigilant when walking in the area after dark.

Really sorry to hear this. I hope he's OK and not too shaken.

I'm sorry to hear this - there is too much of this around.

Your son did the right thing to let go of his possessions - I hope he's not too shaken up and certainly not taking it personally, or thinking he should have done something vigilante style like fighting back.

We live very close by and are usually out in the evenings with the dogs - hardly ever see anyone so will take extra care from now on.
