[monica]

Did anyone notice the police ambulance and fire brigade driving up and down LL today.At one point police cars were stopped by somerfields,did a u turn then 1 min later came back up the opposite direction.This went on for 20 mins or so,but i still have no idea what was going on.Does anyone know?

[Ma]

Yes I know. There was a robbery of those "Cash" vans; they apparently had a stolen car and crashed into a lamp post on Melbourne Grove. Thank God there was not anyone walking there at the time. I heard two people got away but one was trapped in his car.

Thanks ma,another robbery,what is happening at the mo in ED.Is it full moon?

[spadetownboy]

maybe it was the uptown boyz,getting some cash to supply the downtown girlz wit bling innit.

The robbery wasn't in ED apparently - they just ended up here after being pursued.

I gather that they crashed into a rather rare tree rather than a lamp post but at least it was just a tree.

A lamp post was hit too......... the police had part of Melbourne Grove cordoned off yesterday evening as the lamp post was apparanmntly damaged and dangerous.

i asked the police what had happend

and they said that the costcutters at dulwich plough has been robbed

and a police car pursued them to melbourne grove

and thats wer they wrecked the car and more importantly a lamp post>:(

[snorky]

nmaybe they were hot on the trail of the white stuff 3 ?

I am touched by the concern being shown for the well-being of the injured trees and lamp-post. Good to see that our compassion is being extended to flora and inanimate objects. I was told that a tree-surgeon was also spotted rushing to the scene - sap all over the place apparently!
