Muggings in near Dulwich - 6 young men - mid 20s or so - riding 3 mopeds

[siouzie14]

There has been a spate of muggings today in Dulwich, up to 7 separate incidents including in Croxted Road, near Sydenham Hill station and Turney Road, some as early at 6.45am this morning.

There was a group of 6 young men - mid 20s or so - riding 3 mopeds in pairs.

Neighbours may want to be more vigilant than usual leaving home early in the morning or returning home, especially so when mopeds are heard/sighted.

Police advice is to not walk along on mobiles, keep valuables out of sight and do not use headphones so as to remain alert to what is going on around you.

Our kids' school sent an email round about this as it was happening around school drop off time and close to 2 schools. How scary for anyone who was mugged and how scary that children might see something like this.I hope the victims are okay.

Dodgy. Wonder if it's the same gang of 'moped hoods' who've been attempting to nick motorbikes round here
