I think they need to get tough now.

Yeah, what is she on about. "We don't use water cannons in Britain". They used to quick enough in Belfast....

To be honest, I might head down to help clean up Peckham. I think it will need the help more. http://www.riotcleanup.co.uk/Locations/Archive.html Not bringing anything with me except my keys mind you!

It's kicking off in Hackney and Lewisham too.(Confirmed, watching it unfold on Sky News). Also heard a rumour about Croydon. :(

I was just about to post that, snap!

On twitter it says Jd sports and phone4u have had trouble.

Hiya, they seem to be operating at the Surrey Quays bound bus stop, across the road from Cabrini and the Rise. The Canonbie Road side of forest hill road.

The boy my friend saw is v skinny with blonde hair. Police seemed to think these were the same guys they were looking for. If anyone sees them hanging around the P12 bus stop, ring 101 to get through to the local station.

Heads up, they were spotted today and the police were out looking for them.

What an eejit.

Ah, I see. One if those. You might be able to get a clip on case with one of those attached.

Forest hill has an actual car park you can pull into to drop people off, it isn't possible to park directly outside hop. There is a road next to it, but it is blocked off on the station side.

Have just found out that one of my neighbours got mugged the other day, prob by the same people. :(

I teach sixth form you see, I've heard dome of them get up to this type of thing on the holidays. I was only saying to the boyfriend a couple of weeks ago that there would probably be a spike in muggings being reported on here once schools broke up. I never thought it would happen almost directly outside my house! That would explain the snatching rather than threatening with knives too. They are probably fairly new to it and massive cowards. (My 6th form isn't around here btw).

They are also thick. Targeting the same 100m day after day, they will be much easier to catch now (or they would be if the police were actually patrolling!) Were they 6th former age?

I wasn't saying a snatching wasn't horrid btw, I just wanted to know if there was any confrontation involved (I live along there, rather worried about the whole thing).

I'm surprised and worried that all the muggings are so close together, ie along the same strip of forest hill road. Especially worried as I live near there. Hopefully this means they are easier to catch though! Would I be right in thinking these have all been snatchings rather than muggings? Has any violence been threatened? (I'm asking as I want to find out if I am safe enough if my phone is hidden, not that it should have to be!) I'm also surprised that I have not seen any police on the beat around here recently, surely it would make sense to have a bit of visible police presence in light of recent goings on?

Shake Shack, I still have dreams about the amazing burgers and peanut butter milkshakes! Meatwagon burgers are the closest thing I have found in this country though. Njc97, the wait in The Rye is only 5-10 mins now. The Meateasy had a long wait cos of all the hipsters coming down from Shoreditch on the ELL. This thread is making me hungry...
