Passiflora Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Yes, hope they're ok. The Police say that this crime is not being linked to other crime in the area.

northdulmum Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 My parents were burgled last week (New Kent Road). They had double glazed windows which were broken into with glass cutters and then inner glazed sound proofing window was taken off hinges. This happened when they were in bed asleep.They hardly took anything, a mobile and a cheap laptop. Parents are in their late 70s...There's nothing you can do about people this determined imo.

northdulmum Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Yeah - they're fine. We got bars fitted that day by Bronzewood metalworks (consort road peckham - big shout out to them for coming out pretty much straight away and putting bars up). Since the bars went in, both parents more relaxed).They've lived there 20 years... first time this has happened.

Robert Poste's Child Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I guess petty criminals know, like the rest of us, that the police no longer have the resources to follow up on smaller crimes so they can do as they like. Horrible. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/197967-couple-held-at-knife-point-in-ed/#findComment-1262939 Share on other sites More sharing options...

northdulmum Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Its fine - it's one of those tall thin houses, kitchen (in basement) was broken into. The front door is one level higher and kitchen has two doors backing onto the garden - so all good. Also you couldn't open those windows anyway... Double glazed and fixed, which is why they used glass cutters...edit to say, thanks for the concern Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/197967-couple-held-at-knife-point-in-ed/#findComment-1262995 Share on other sites More sharing options...
