jimbo1964 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Lordship Lane was closed this morning for an RTA. Could have been that. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/21220-helicopter-around-east-dulwich/#findComment-511282 Share on other sites More sharing options...
intexasatthe moment Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I can't help wondering about the cost effectiveness of using helicopters ,especially since it seems ( I might be wrong ) not infrequent around here .I wonder if there are records showing how often helicopter use results in catching the criminal ?

Pickle Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 It was related to a house in Upland Road - apparently one person apprehended (not sure what for) and one got away. There were police everywhere, but all seems quiet now.

They know they have to justify the costs to the taxpayer. As one of the Round table members was a part of the Yorkshire equivalent to CO19 we got shown some CCTV stuff that was a bit more sensitive than the car chases you see on Police, Camera, Action. It could well be that today's operation might be one of those.

reren Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Looked like more than a burglary - lots of police and the helicopter- but who knows?!

Norfolkvillas Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 As I crossed the junction of Friern and Underhill at 7.20 this morning, there were armed police (do they all carry guns nowadays - I must be getting old) stationed at intervals down Friern Road, and police dogs looking in front gardens...

chauveau Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Any more news on this? Was quite surprised to see 5 police cars and 2 riot vans racing down Barry road this morning at 6.30 on my way to work.

That's the kind of joined up thinking you just don't get from the government...

Spooner Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 The helicopter seems to have been particularly busy over our garden this weekend and at this very early minute on a Monday morning. A little disconcerting and certainly no Ocado delivery in sight yet. What can it see that we can't, given it is still dark?!

Miles Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 There is someone hiding in the gardens near Sainsburys. There are police at the ends of all the roads nearby.
