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! 
He was met by two of my officers and a large hairy police dog! 
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.
SgtBiddle
Thanks! Will give them a call.
NEW Perry Vale Ward Panel Priorities (set 16/01/18):
Burglary crime prevention
Begging offences
Flytipping offences
From the @MPSLewisham twitter feed last night… ‘Thanks to @NPAShq and dog unit for assisting #ERTA officers in arresting a male for going equipped to steal this evening. He was found in back gardens in Sunderland Road,SE23 and tried to run from officers. Luckily we were too fast for him!. #anotherburglaroffthestreets’
Great work keeping SE23 safe!
SgtBiddle
I’m intrigued who are on these ward panels and how they are selected? Is it a panel of elected local councillors meeting with the local police team or are there members of the public on the panel? Is the meeting where these priorities set publicised, who can attend and how are these decisions made.
Hi,
Anyone can be on the Ward Panel - as long as they live or work on the ward and are able to represent the views of a group of residents or traders etc… (eg we have Neighbourhood Watch reps, Shop Keepers, Residents Association reps, and are always open to local young people joining).
If you would like to join please let us know via email. John.biddle@met.pnn.police.uk
Thanks!

Another busy day for the team. Lots happening. Again a few burglaries in SE23. We are redoubling our efforts to prevent them and catch the culprits.
Be vigilant SE23!!
SgtBiddle
Yesterday in SE23 we conducted a number of arrest enquiries for wanted offenders.
We then responded to a call from care home staff to a resident armed with a knife having a Mental Health Crisis.
The patient was disarmed and has been safely taken by us to a Place of Safety for treatment under the Mental Health Act.
MH crisis isn’t something that we normally deal with as SNT Officers - although we do have good links with our care homes throughout the 3 SE23 wards as Response Team usually deal but I give this as an example of some of th variety of incidents my team come across.
On our way back we found one of our beggars outside the Co Op in Waldram Park. He’s been issued with a Community Protection Notice in the past and as he was in breach of it he was told he would be prosecuted by PCRichard. FYI the beggar is NOT homeless has been offered help and has access to free food etc.

PCGillianWe had reports of suspicious people in the Kilmorie Rd & Woolstone Rd area yesterday. Please be vigilant and report anyone who seems out of place.
Burglars have targeted rear windows of premises with another attempt y/day afternoon.
SgtBiddle
What does ‘an attempt’ mean? Did someone catch them out. How did they gain entry to the back of the houses? What’s being done to try and prevent this spate? We were burgled in the summer and it’s horrid. I hate the fact it continues.
Hi. An attempted burglary is exactly that.
The suspect was disturbed before they could gain access.
As said entry or attempted entry seems to be favourite through rear windows.
Lewisham units are aware and are continuing patrols in the area. We need everyone to be vigilant.
SgtBiddle
Thanks for replying. You guys do a great job.
Do we have a description of what these people look like? When you say suspicious activity, what are they doing exactly, so we can spot if someone else looks to be doing the same?
I’m home most days so I’ll be vigilant as I live on this road 
Hi. Unfortunately descriptions are vague.
Entry to back gardens via alleyways or side gates…
The regular beggar was back there this evening. I mentioned it to the staff at the Coop who seem non fussed about him. What can ve done to peopke who consistently flout the orders?
Thank you. We are aware. PC Bailey is on the case…
SgtBiddle
Thank you, I live in this area so good to know you are patrolling.
On a side note, there were ADT security people door-knocking my road this week. I had a man wanting to do ‘a security analysis of my house to qualify for some free security equipment’ and he was asking if I had a burglar alarm etc. Well he seemed a nice guy and may be genuine, but I said no thanks because I don’t intend to discuss my house security with a strange person without knowing if they are who they say they are.
I am sure we’ve discussed this company before on this forum but wanted to mention it again as it’s happened recently.
We had the same tonight. The questions we had were about our property and car. My husband has PM’ed ADT to ask whether this is their sales technique or whether he should inform the police.
