It was the bit about being near the Sainsbury's petrol station at Craigleith which I concentrated on. Not exactly Drylaw by that description. It would help if the police themselves knew which area they were actually talking about. </p> <p>I think "regular" muggers and the like will tend to stick to their own patch, so it's helpful to know more precisely where the incident occurred. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11426#post-129702 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 13:53:08 +0000 JohnS 129702@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>As gembo says its a dodgy stretch, moreso for pedestrians wandering back from Sainsburys. I do that stretch every day and you can go through fast in both directions, allowing for pedestrians. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11426#post-129596 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 07:21:50 +0000 gembo 129596@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@focus, Says Drylaw area near craigleith, I would be vigilant going through that stretch, bit of waste ground etc, beyond sainsburys you can pick up a lot more speed on the longer straight sections. Also man had Eastern European accent, mugger with a better work ethic than locals?</p> <p>These quibbles aside, all very different from wee malkies after school </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11426#post-129577 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 22:01:23 +0000 skotl 129577@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Damn. I was on that at 8pm tonight and it was dark, damp and deserted.</p> <p>May need to use Ferry Road for the winter commute if this becomes a risk :( </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11426#post-129574 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 21:53:34 +0000 Focus 129574@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Worrying. It's not exactly the stretch of the NEPN most people would associate with the risk of mugging and is a sobering reminder to have your wits about you at all times. Hope the scrotes are caught and properly punished. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11426#post-129516 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 13:07:21 +0000 chdot 129516@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/crime/man-attacked-in-robbery-near-retail-park-1-3149990" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/crime/man-attacked-in-robbery-near-retail-park-1-3149990</a></p> <p>Well there's a myth buster - ne'r-do-wells up before mid-day! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11426#post-129513 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 12:58:11 +0000 le_soigneur 129513@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Police tweeting, looking for <a href="http://www.scotland.police.uk/whats-happening/news/2013/october/192178/">NEPN muggers</a>:<br /> On the cycleway near to Telford Bridge about 6.30 - 7am this morning?
