2 males were arrested Peckham Rye earlier following information they had been involved in a recent robbery.

Or perhaps the search for a lost child mentioned on another thread.

Don't think there would have been sirens in a search for a lost child, unless it was an attempted abduction, which it doesn't seem it was?

[Robert Poste's Child]

No idea as I wasn't there.

At about 7.15 last night police were handcuffing a couple of miscreants near the Tesco at the end of Rye Lane.

Guardian guy (@crifmulholland) tweeted a picture saying 'police everywhere' 'lots of cops with guns' last night - and added police still there this morning - pic shows JAARK - opposite me but I saw/heard nothing - young man in Puffa jacket got arrested if you believe tweet replies.

Hipster activity (pop up crime)

Was there last night when police reunited lady with her child around 5pm. Not sure if coincidence or not but the 2 cars circling the park with sirens on stopped at the same time.

Strange question, newdad. People will always be concerned for various reasons if a serious crime has happened on their doorsetp (and also you always have to expect an element of curtain-twitchery).

[Earl Aelfheah]

Yeah, if you see a load of armed police, it's pretty natural to wonder what the hell is going on. It is undeniably a notable event...and so hardly surprising that people will note upon it.

Why do we want to know what the Police are doing ?

I like to know because it's our neighborhood and we want to know how to improve it, and to do that we need to know what's wrong. I hear sirens every day going past on Rye lane - I'd rather they didn't but I at least want to know why my neighborhood is full of police cars, sirens on rushing somewhere. Peckham is improving because people take note of what is going on and get involved.
