Gang mugging people for bikes this evening (Monday 9th Nov). Info required

[sack donger]

Hi there all. There was a gang of teenagers hanging out on the path that runs from Sainsbury's to the cylce path that then runs to East Dulwich Grove. Time was between 7pm and half 7ish. They were attempting to mug people for their bikes and I believe that they tried it on with a number of people.

The good news is that the police have arrested some suspects on the basis of a witness' identification.

The point of this post is to encourage anybody who also encountered this buch of rancid scum to get in contact with the police and give as good a description as possible.

The more info they have the greater the chance of bringing these parasites to justice.

Which police station should they contact? Do you have a contact name, number and reference number as it would make it easier for people to get straight through to the right person.

Apparently the best people to speak to are the east dulwich safer neighbourhoods unit......tel: 0207 232 7310.

Is this the path that runs across the park from Sainsburys down to Dog Kennel Hill/Grove Vale?

If you look at this map, it is the path that runs from Abbotswood Road to Green Dale. Not shown on map, runs round the football pitches.

These lads also sometimes block the road into Abbotswood and just dare you to drive into them - spoiling for a scrap - seen it happen a number of times, luckily not happened to me. Dunno if I woul dhave the guts to simply plough into them at speed.

Possibly met this group last night just after 7 as I cycled up Green Dale towards C'Well. They kind've blocked the path but as I was travelling at speed they would've been stupid to get in my way. No way of giving descriptions since it was dark but there were roughly 5 in a mixed group. No way of knowing if they're connected to the reported incident and apart from trying to be intimidating they weren't doing anything illegal.
