Burglary yesterday Overhill Road

[nellie]

We were burgled yesterday on Overhill Road. They smashed through rear garden double glazed door after climbing over 9 foot high side passage entrance. Probably happened between 4.30pm and 6.10pm but could have taken place earlier in the day. Did anyone see anything suspicious?

I'm so sorry to hear this , sad as there had been no reports lately so it said at our neighbourhood watch on belvoir road . Where are you on overhill road ? Which end ?

[nellie]

We're towards the Underhill Rd end. Police officer said there was another burglary on Overhill yesterday and several burglaries in the Dulwich area reported last night as burglars took advantage of police resources being tied up with the school stabbing.

I am so sorry. It has happened to us too. I really feel for you. Would you consider joining the neighbourhood watch scheme on Belvoir road?

[dimples]

That's terrible , once again I'm sorry to hear this and I'm going to pass this update on to the lady who organises our neighbourhood watch and see if you're close enough to our watch or if there is one closer to your end of overhill

Thanks. A piece of advice I would give to homeowners is not to place too much faith in the sort of safes you can buy at B&Q. We had placed most of our valuables in one of these, bolted to an external wall, but the burgler managed to break the locking mechanism and empty the entire contents of the safe.

I have nothing of value anymore as I was also burgled a few years ago and they took all my valuables from my mum and dad and granny. Irreplaceable 😢

Another burglary this morning in Lordship Lane about 100 yards up from the Police station site.

Between 9.00 am and noon a considerable force used to break a thick, heavy door and 2 flats ransacked . If you spotted anything suspicious please get in touch.

Thanks
