The high St 'incident' ????

[fuzzy logic]

Any news of what happened last night/this morning on the high st ?

I spoke to a few people and 'shoot out' and 'murder' were mentioned .......

I spoke to one of the policeman but he wasn't very forthcoming. All he would say was it was a serious assault (I could have guest that much). I'll try again later and if I find anything out I'll post it.

Hiya,

I have heard that there was a murder outside of the woolwich in the high st. Not 100% sure but if it is its quite scary for us all.

Dropped my daughter off at school this morn and overheard plenty of mums talking about the incident in Sydeham high St. Does anyone know what happened yet?

There isn’t the usual yellow “Incident Call for Witnesses” board nor is there any mention in the media. I don’t want to sound like a paranoid conspiracy theorist who hangs around web forums…. But isn’t a bit strange that nobody can find anything out? If it wasn’t anything major then why close off the whole high street?

On a different subject, I had to laugh when I saw the “Advance Notice” for resurfacing roadworks on Sydenham Road. It must have been weeks since the last lot.

Just a quick post I live on Longton grove and at about 10:40 to night there was 6 police cars sitting in the road and they were full with police men. I also heard a helicopter going around but didn’t see it that well. From when I saw them (10:40) they was there until 11:00 and drove off quickly down to Jews walk. And I heard that there was a shooting in Wells park last week or the weekend but nothing about the high St.

Ps. Sorry about any bad spelling or grammar not too good at it and being a teenager I mainly write in text.

Ive been told that a male and female were attacked by a gang of hoodies between 5 and 6am and as a result one victim died and the other is in intensive care. How accurate this is, I dont know.

is this is indeed what happened, why on earth has there been no mention of it anywhere? there's nothing on the web, nothing on news wires, and - most baffling of all - nothing in the evening standard. considering what happened in willesden last friday, you'd think they'd be all over a story that is - if it's possible to measure these things - even more tragic.
any chance you could reveal your sources, pip, before the chinese whispers get out of control?

Yes I am surprised too. I think it wise that when making serious allegations that people should state their sources. I can then follow it up and validate the facts. I'm liable for what's published here so its important to distinguish fact from hearsay.

That's funny; I spoke to a police officer there because I needed to get to the shops, and she told me that someone was assaulted in the road, not that someone was robbed. At gunpoint? In Sydenham? That worries me a bit... I've only just moved there (I'm a Londoner but I lived in Birmingham for a while), and thought it was still relatively safe.

Calm down everybody. Lewisham Police confirm there was no fatality in Sydenham that night. They don't even have a recorded 'serious' incident.

I am awaiting a call from the Sydenham Community Policing Team who are checking to see what incidents were recorded which may have led to the above reports.

I hope we are not wasting police time ... l
