Residents around Eltham High Street report a growing trend of targeting pensioners for thefts, with many victims unaware of the dangers surrounding them.
82-year-old Maureen Metcalfe expressed her fears, stating that elderly women often walk with open bags, making them easy targets for thieves, especially younger criminals.
A long-time resident mentioned a daily avoidance of ATMs due to increased thefts, particularly emphasizing that phones are frequently stolen from older individuals.
Despite the rise in crime, Ms. Metcalfe remains hopeful about police presence on the high street, advocating for increased patrols to deter criminal activity.
