Not sure if this is something to worry about but I have just come home and my cousin (who is staying with me) said he saw a rather suspicious looking guy this morning on Ferris Road (just off Tyrrel Rd). He kept coming up to our front door and looking through the post box and when my cousin went to answer the door, he kept running off. He came back a few times but then ran off again. Slightly concerning!

Has anyone else seen this guy today or in fact any other day in the area? Only description is he is white, dressed in dark trousers and a dark coat and had dark hair. Not very helpful I know.

Just thought I should mention it, especially to those in the area....

What are the police going to do with that info? Arrest everyone with dark clothing? I will let them know but there is nothing they will be able to do. Especially as I wasn't actually around to see it. Just wondered if anyone else had seen something?

Call the East Dulwich Safer Neighbourhood Team and alert them to his activities, they are on foot patrol in the area and can keep an eye out for suspicious behaviour... if you take a photo make sure you can't be injured when you do (i.e. the person tryign to grab the camera off you)


If you are in Nunhead / Peckham Rye then call the Peckham Rye team.


The more information they have on someone acting like this, the better the chance they have of stopping him.


He may be harmless, but then again he may not, always best not to take that chance and if the SNT's aren't on duty at the moment or it is an emergency then call 999

I remember a few years ago I heard the letterbox go at my old flat, I was working from home that day. I crept outside checked down the stairwell and I saw two men aged between 35 and 40 kick the door in to the flat downstairs, I called the Police, when they arrived I told them "Look" they are walking around that corner, they were more concerned about me saying they were about as urgent as a tranquilized slug than catching burglars, it was a good job Harry my 91 year old neighbour was out, they may have hurt him if he was in. During the time I called the Police and them actually arriving, they managed to ransack his flat, they never got caught.

there is a fair bit they can do, obviously they won,t be placing bobbies on permanent duty at the end of the street, but the likelihood is the info will be placed on daily briefing for the area and the officer responsible for the area will be aware of potential problems and will be more likely to do the occasional pass whilst on their duties, which in turn should deter the potential offender, or at least send him somewhere else, which obviously dosent solve the problem, but at least its not your problem any more.

Weird - I had a guy come up to our house (which is on the street mentioned in the post) early evening a few nights back. He tapped at the glass of the front door and rattled the letter-box. I got a strange feeling, so went up to the door and said "Who is it" loudly. He said nothing. In fact didn't seem to move. I switched on all the lights upstairs and when I looked out of the window he was gone.

Didn't phone police - what could I have said. Someone tapped on my door and wouldn't answer me. But I was very spooked and happy when husband got home!

This has happened twice to our household on Hindmans Road in the afternoon 20th of January and the 13th of February. A male matching the description has rattled our letterbox twice and looked through it and he stayed there for a while just looking through. This has been reported to the police.


Personally I feel this is a tatic to gauge whether someone is actually in, to possibly burgle the premises, or from observing the target locations that have been selected by this perp, he seems to be persistant and focusing on female households, so perhaps maybe some vigilence should be called for if you are a female living alone, in case his motives are more sinister and some protection arranged for yourselves.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
