comment Comments (7)   Have your say »


THREE men have been caught on CCTV breaking into a supermarket.

The images, released by Greenwich police, show the men trying to disable the CCTV system at the Lidl store, in Eynsham Drive, Abbey Wood.

They then attempt to remove a safe containing the store's weekly takings but are unsuccessful.

The attempted burglary happened between 8.30pm on April 9 and 6.25am on April 10.

One of the men had blonde hair and was possibly in his late 20s.

The second man had dark hair and a bald patch, was thought to be in his mid 30s and was wearing a stripy green jumper and a khaki jacket.

The third man had dark hair and was probably in his 20s.

If you recognise the men or saw anything suspicious on the night of the burglary call Greenwich Burglary Squad on 020 8284 9574 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

These two look like Laurel and Hardy attempting to get a piano up some stairs.

I like the way that Ollie is doing all the work while his accomplice props rests on the other side of the safe.

Nice gauntletss Hardy, mind you don't strain yourself.

Nice line in yellow jackets, Stan.

It seems that this is another fine mess you have gotten yourselves into.

The picture of the legs (minus the face??) behind the baldy man is a girl not a bloke. Look at the physique; also long woolie top, I don't think a man would wear that?
