Does anyone know what was going on last night at around 11ish? There was a helicopter hovering shining a spotlight over Forest Hill/Catford for ages.
Any ideas?
well it wasn't me I wasn't home until about half past midnight
Noticed that - seems to be happening a fair amount at the moment!
Did you report it to the police?
Methinks Fishface is being ironic. It obviously was the police - but how come it seems to happen every year around this time? Are we having our annual crime wave or is it just 'our turn' to have the helicopter?
With a warm summer people tend to leave patio doors and windows open and so thievery esculates. There is every chance it was the police looking for a burglar, much easier to do from a thousand feet with IR than on foot.
According to the missus who is a met officer, the met only have 2 helicoptors so they are used pretty sparingly. Each borough can only get to use them so much so perhaps it is the turn of Lewisham.
Thats interesting as they seem to spend a lot of time here!
The Met helicopter is India 99, give it a wave.
