Did anyone else get approached last night on crystal palace road by two boys dressed in black

With scarves around their faces?

I went to open my door and they came up to me pointing a finger pretending to be

Have a gun. They ran off when I opened the door.

Not sure what they were after but hardly what you want when you are walking by yourself?

There was a guy with a scarf around his face acting strangely on the corner of Crystal Palace Road & Heber Road as I returned home about 8.30 last night (Weds). His body language was so odd that both myself and my friend stopped to look at him. At which point he backed away as if threatened and walked off. Couldn't give a better description as it was too dark.

On Thursday 3rd October at 21.15 one of our trainers was approached by 2 men on Blackwater street fitting the description that has been mentioned here - they tried to get in to her car and and steal her handbag...she got out of the car and confronted them and they ran off.


Its quite worrying that they are still around a week after this event!!


We reported the incident to the police.

All incidents of this sort need to be reported to the Police...


The Met. seemed to of decided that the Crime Level in the area no longer justified a Police Station

in East Dulwich. The Police Station was closed down and the Police moved out.


There is one very friendly proper 'Copper' that seems to be on duty 24/7.

Always walking around the area acknowledging everyone he passes.


On a serious note, there does seem to be more reports on EDF about incidents since the Police Station closed.

This is probably a stupid question but what number do you call to report something to the local police that is not an emergency? I had an issue this morning that my husband wants me to report to the police. Not a mugging thankfully.

or maybe victims/potential victims are getting more organised - which is good.


where's my pitchfork.:)

Someone published this recently on another post in the forum:


Upland Road has a Neighbourhood Watch group. PM me if you want your name added to the mailing list. The local Sergeant is Stewart Turnbull and contact for non emergency is: [email protected] 020 8721 2447. The main thing for NW is to not turn away if you see something. Don't think you're noisy if you're curious. Proper locks and windows. Lights that go on.

Non emergency number is 101. You get through to a Met Police operator who then takes details and passes to local team. Local team weer willing to come to house same day, but I preferred a different time. Seemed like same service just without blue lights.

I agree with Dulwich Fox. Please, pleae report these things to the Police, even if you think they won't do anything. It's important the they are recording the number of crimes.

I remember a poster a few weeks back who said she was threatened and followed/ chased on Forest Hill Road one evening.


Are they all isolated incidents? Who knows. But vital that they are being recorded.

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
