Dear Se23.life

I’ve been out today with PCSOAndrea in Forest Hill and Perry Vale speaking to two residents of the Cannonby Road area who have been unfortunate victims of burglary over the past few days.
Entry to both premises was via a rear door or window.
In one case tools from a shed were used to smash the patio door glass.

I would ask that you check your gardens security and think about outside lighting etc.

I also visited the Church Vale flats where we’ve had complaints of drug taking and general ASB by youths in the stairwell. I’ve tasked my team to visit the block as often as possible when on duty as this behaviour is really impacting on local residents there.

Back tomorrow for more!

We were out earlier patrolling the flats in Church Rise looking for any evidence of ASB including street drinking and drug taking - as promised to residents.

Some old reefer butts but nothing recent. Please let me know if you witness any as I’m aware of the impact on local residents.

Thank you Sergeant Biddle, it does seem to have been quiet the last few days, the last time we saw anybody was at 11.45 pm on Saturday night, 30-12-17. They were again sitting in the stairwell between the 2nd and 3rd floor.

Suspicious activity on Lowther Hill too - two men loitering outside the house gesturing to the side access of our house - thankfully our upstairs neighbour saw and disturbed them. Seems to be a lot of it about at the moment. Do you patrol Crofton Park ward too?

Dear all,

Sorry for not posting for a few days. I’ve been away on a Public Order course (lots of bricks and petrol bombs - so nothing like SE23 thank goodness!!).

A brief update. From the team today. PC Mick and others attended an address earlier and arrested a suspect for a shoplifting offence from a shop in Forest Hill. The suspect has been interviewed and enqs continue.

Patrols have taken place across the wards… we have suffered from a number of burglaries in the past weeks in perry Vale where entry has been gained via a rear window. Please take time this weekend to check your homes security!

My team and I will continue to work as hard as we can to keep the wards of Forest Hill, Perry Vale and Crofton Park as safe as possible!

Best wishes,

SgtBiddle

We executed a dangerous dogs act warrant yesterday.

Two dogs seized so enqs can continue.
And we also managed to arrest a man who’s been wanted for theft for some time at the same address!
A second chap jumped over the back garden wall when we knocked (we were round the back too!) for absolutely no reason other than he always does that when police knock! :joy:
He was met by two of my officers and a large hairy police dog! :dog2:

Thanks for all the updates @SgtBiddle it’s very much appreciated.

At approx 445pm today I had someone throw a stone at our front door on Treviso Road which has shattered one of the windows. Most likely kids - and neighbours have said there are a group from Forest Hill Boys that have been lurking about - but is it worth reporting? If so who would be the best person to call? 501? Thanks

Hi Dan. Yes. Well worth reporting. Please call 101.
