Catalytic converter thieves operating tonight

[pooc]

They tried to do a bunch of cars tonight near Goodrich/Upland road

Three young white lads wearing hoods and face masks walking around with a jack, torch and power tools

If you hear a loud drilling noise please safely look out your window and if you see anything suspicious call the police

Stay safe

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]

Please let the local police know - dulwichhill.snt@met.police.uk . They may be aware of a pattern and it could help them. (Goodrich School has security cameras, which may also help.) Thanks!

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.

Someone did a few cars on my road, they are very fast!

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

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:

They have been at it in Beauval Rd. Too close for comfort. Scary in the night to hear such activity by a nearby car.

They?re off before police can get to them, unless coincidentally police are patrolling very nearby.

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

What a drag. What is a person supposed to do?

[sandyman]

pardon my innocence, how do you know your catalytic convertor has been stolen?

[lameduck]

start your engine

she will sound like a motorbike

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.

Dulwich Hill SNT have some Cat.Converter kits for residents in the Dulwich Hill area. Please contact them by email. Kits can be used for cars including Honda, Toyota and some electric cars.

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...
