East Peckham burglar pretended to be a tree surgeon

Between 15:00 and 15:05 on Tuesday 25th of September, a householder discovered a man in his property in Addlestead Road.

When asked he claimed to be trying to find out if they wanted any trees chopped down. 

The householder then asked the man to leave, which he did. It is not believed anything was taken. 

The man was described as white male, 5ft 10ins, slim, dark haired, aged 22-26, wearing a dark green top and dark trousers. Access was gained via an insecure rear door.
