Monkey Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Oh damn it. I did hear a drilling noise and thought who?s doing work at this time. It didn?t last long though which is why I didn?t get up to check?

Nigello Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Please let the local police know - [email protected] . They may be aware of a pattern and it could help them. (Goodrich School has security cameras, which may also help.) Thanks!

pooc Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 The police were informed and attended the scene, it was their arrival that caught my and others attention. They patrolled the area afterwards to look for the culprits.

dimples Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I was at a friends house this evening in Devonshire road and heard an awful drilling noise .We both thought road works and then I realized it was probably thieves sawing through the catalytic converter .It was , three men but only saw the faces of two as they had their hoods up . We called the police who came really quickly but they got away . Was at 9.40 pm so not that late and people around 😡Poor man who?s car it was had only moved in a few hours before Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/292337-catalytic-converter-thieves-operating-tonight/#findComment-1535908 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatfightersforever Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Mine also stolen on 31st August in Hengrave Road SE23 (also heard of more stolen on nearby Boveney Rd). Neighbours witnessed thieves getting into a black VW Golf Mk7, sadly they couldn't get the registration number but they did kindly ring police....R Flollylf Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> Iv been hearing drilling at odd times throughout> the night over the past week and also alarms going> out now that I know it?s not road works outside I> will be checking next time I hear anything and> calling the police Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/292337-catalytic-converter-thieves-operating-tonight/#findComment-1536048 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallic Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 They have been at it in Beauval Rd. Too close for comfort. Scary in the night to hear such activity by a nearby car.

KidKruger Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 They?re off before police can get to them, unless coincidentally police are patrolling very nearby.

Jules-and-Boo Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 My neighbour has converted a pallet as security. Basically, he?s built ramps and drives the wheels onto them. The pallet fills the space between the road and bottom of the car so no room for the thieves to get in Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/292337-catalytic-converter-thieves-operating-tonight/#findComment-1536114 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchs02 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 They?re definitely operating locally, we just had ours stollen (Beauval Road) for the second time this year. It?s unbelievable and especially as we took the extra security measures re the police advice this time.

Dogkennelhillbilly Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Looks like a section of dual exhaust was dumped at the corner of Frank Dixon Way and College Rd today. I don't think it's just fly tipping as the section was cut out instead of being unbolt as a whole unit...
