SMASH-AND-GRAB AT SHOPPING CENTRE
■ Five intruders wearing balaclavas, smashed their way into at least seven retail premises at Research, near Eltham, last week. Prime target in the 2am raid was the Research Licensed Post Office, where the gang rifled through parcels awaiting pick-up. It is thought that the thieves were largely left empty-handed. The daring break-in was filmed on CCTV. Other nearby shops were also ransacked by the gang, thought to be from outside the area. The glass door was also smashed at North East Organics, and it is believed that the offenders also targeted the Miners Gold coffee shop, Charcoal Chicken, the hairdressers’ shop, Capone’s Pizza and Research Bakery. Some gold coins were taken from one of the
