Tommyf Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Just want people to be aware out there, I was walking home by the Gowlett on Amott Road when I was attacked by two guys with hoods. Tried to run away though they chased me down and kicked me in the face and chest. Please be careful out there as they are looking for people with phones, wallets, etc..

DulwichFox Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'm sorry to hear that. It's the main reason I never go that way at night on my own. It has always been a concern of mine. Its a bit isolated around there.

CuppaT Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Sorry to hear this! Really thought this area was starting to turn over a new leaf.Do you know around what time? I'm not far from there so I can have a look through my CCTV if they went past.

Louisa Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 That area is changing and has changed pretty drastically in the last four or five years, but this is London and nowhere is totally safe, particularly late at night on a relatively quiet side road.

Mustard Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Sorry to hear this, what did the police do? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/56190-mugged-by-the-gowlett-on-amott-road/#findComment-836037 Share on other sites More sharing options...
moak Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Blimey, how awful. Hope you're ok. Yes, I would be very interested to hear what the police had to say about it. All the best.

peckhamside Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Tommy F, report this to the Police, so they know where to direct patrols. Also if your phone was stolen they will not be able to return it if found, or prosecute the person with it, if you have not reported it.

landsberger Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Bear in mind that slightly better off places by no means guarantee that crime won't happen. Muggers seek opportunities where they think they will get the best results, unfortunately. Definitely report it to the police, I have personal experience of them using crime stats to change the operational organisation of policing when problems arise, Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/56190-mugged-by-the-gowlett-on-amott-road/#findComment-836069 Share on other sites More sharing options...
micromacromonkey Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Really sorry to hear about this, we live opposite the Gowlett but didn't hear anything. What did they look like? Have you asked Jonny if he has anything on his cctv?However Dulwichfox and Louisa to claim that Amott Road and environs is to be avoided, or even that this was the case 5 years ago, is patent nonsense. Your biggest danger is being offended by shouty rugger buggers.

Earl Aelfheah Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 To be fair, I don't think this is what either Fox or Louisa was suggesting Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/56190-mugged-by-the-gowlett-on-amott-road/#findComment-836096 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED_moots Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Hi TommyI was drinking in the gowlett on Thursday night. Left at around 1 and walked down amott, adys then ondine. There were a group of 4-5 guys hanging around the school on adys road. I passed then at about 20m and was drunk so could not recognise them by sight but one definitely wore a white hoodie. If you reported it and please do then maybe there are some cameras around the school which might get some decent images. I don't presume they're involved but its possible.

chatterb0x Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Muggers will always come to nicer places as they think the people living there must have better stuff to take, they also assume that the people who live in these areas have a naivety to this type of thing and will therefore be a lot easier to mug and get away with it...Sadly I have lived here all my life and know a lot of people who have had this terrible experience, I think the best and hardest thing to do is to stand up for yourself and not be put off going anywhere just because your worried about bumping into one of these muppets! :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/56190-mugged-by-the-gowlett-on-amott-road/#findComment-836800 Share on other sites More sharing options...
