Phone theft - Lordship Lane

[Lucyd]

Be wary - just witnessed a man on a bike steal a young ladies phone from the bus stop outside M&S on Lordship Lane at about 6pm this evening. He cycled off down North Cross Road.

Mate had his nicked on LL before Xmas.  Guys on bikes

Had mine swiped out of my hand by a passing uber food cyclist. Stand well back from the road if using your phone. Very easy for a passing cyclist to snatch it and be off.

Someone on a bike tried to snatch mine when I was walking home this evening around 7pm on Colwell Road. I luckily had a good grip on it.

That's brutal, so happy to hear you had a good grip! It's such a shame that we need to two hand grip our phones these days all across London. Doesn't make you want to live in such a place where you don't feel safe. The people nicking phones are pathetic scum. I would welcome the opportunity to knock one of those dickheads off their bike until the police arrive.

You'd be the one they'd end up booking if you did that unfortunately mate if the police even showed up.
