Break ins, in Honor Oak and Nunhead cemeteries

[PeckhamRose]

Hi - last night at Police Ward Panel the woman in charge of the Southwark Cemeteries came along to report that Honor Oak Crematorium and Cemetery Office had been broken in to and also vandalism and damage had occurred in the cemetery area recently. Whilst the meeting took place, Nunhead cemetery was itself burgled. The thieves apparently climbed over the walls, then sawed through bars outside a small toilet window within, and then nicked a laptop and stuff. They could only steal what they could then carry back over the walls. The police are concentrating on this problem and took prints and so on, but may I just make a plea for us all to be alert when going past such places? I once felt a tad embarrassed when one night going past a shop and realising there were people in there and a white van outside. But I reported it and was told by the owner it was a small party, but he thanked me anyway for being suspicious and calling it in.

So please - be aware. Thanks!
