Following on from similar threads on this forum (Friern Rd, Underhill Rd, Lock Stickers, etc) I have just learnt that there were a couple of attempted break-ins on CPR, albeit about a week and a half ago. Having only just returned to E.D. after many years away, I am still slightly behind the times and as I state have only just learnt of this, so apologies if this is already widely known but I felt it entirely prudent to pass on the info just in case the immediate residents are unaware.

Just to let others know. At 4.00am this morning (25.11.13) in Crystal Palace Rd we were woken by the sound of people forcing our side return gate. We then saw three men trying to enter our kitchen through a window they had forced open. They ran when disturbed and shouted at.


Is worth reminding us all to check windows have good locks or are screwed shut. That you have motion sensor lights as darkness is their friend. The police attended and were supportive.

How long was it before the police arrived? I assume, with a crime definitely in progress and perps there for the taking, they'd give it high priority. I'm wondering about the strategy of keeping shtumm for as long as possible after calling them, to increase their chance of making some arrests.

xxxxxxx


I'm not sure how long I'd be willing to keep shtumm if there were a load of burglars climbing into my house :))


I'd have to have a lot of faith in the ability of the police to arrive within - oh, ten seconds of my call to them :))

we had children upstairs so we were more worried about ensuring they did not get in or closer to the girls rather than thinking about any strategy for getting them caught. To be honest we were not really thinking, more just reacting out of panic and a desire to protect. Police arrived within minutes of being called.

Hi all,


please see the post a couple of posts down from this one (double burglary Landells Road), I'm the owner of one of the houses that was burgled on the 25th at 4am (reference to DST post)....the time fit is uncanny.


Does anyone on the top stretch of CPR have CCTV, please?

I'm sorry to post again, but should anyone have any information about events on the morning of the 25th Nov at 4am (ie. there was three of them), please would you kindly PM me and I can then pass on to the Police. I'm trying to stay calm and collected for my wife (who will probably read this), but inside I'm raging. Thanks all.

    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.  
    • They also collect near Bond Street station near Oxford Circus. Always same guys.
