Burgled last night on Landcroft Road (16th Dec)

[juliebaloolie]

Burgled last night on Landcroft Road. SO UPSETTING. 3 RUCKSACKS STOLEN - 2 WITH THE CHARTER SCHOOL WORK IN IT. GCSE WORK NOTES ETC. Please if anyone hears of anything or anyone finds these bags dumped anywhere please tell me. My children gutted and upset. In night while we were here between midnight and 7am. Nothing of any use to the idiotic burglers but personally precious and alot of work from this term inside them. GCSE books etc.

have a look in wheelie bins nearby, they will have soon realised they were useless items.

So sorry to hear that, and hope the work turns up soon.

ohhh that's really sad to know, hope you all safe and healthy, if you got injured or stressed you can claim as well and get your maximum compensation..

[juliebaloolie]

Yes - all the bins being emptied on Landcroft today! We have been out to tell them to look out for rucksacks when they are working. Police been.

Sorry to hear that. Very upsetting for the children I'm sure. Can I ask how they got in?

There seem to have been a lot of burglaries recently. Is this area being particularly targeted?

"There seem to have been a lot of burglaries recently. Is this area being particularly targeted?"

Not really - again, the forum makes it sound like a "crime spree" as we hear more about burglaries than we normally would - but this is London, and SE22 is no different to any other part of London. Its good to share facts to reduce crime, but careless to "scare monger" people into thinking ED is higher risk than anywhere else.

The last three reported months show a decline in burglary in the area - but wont have December numbers for a while. 21 burglaries in August, 19 in September and only 8 in October.

lane lover - I'm sure that's of great comfort to all those people who've recently been burgled.

Season's Greetings to you too..........

I am not talking about those who have been burgled - its clear that its a disturbing matter to those involved.

However, what is annoying are people who come on here and claim there is a "crime wave" or "ED is being targetted" when its far from the case. Scaremongering is not good to anyone.

Keep the facts of each burglary clear, and we can all prevent more burglaries happening in the future - by keeping an eye out and taking all necessary preventative measures

Thats all.
