8 Burglary incidents took place in the last 2 weeks, and numerous in last few months. The burglary squad in Plumstead Police station is currently investigating the incidents.

I live in the vista building and my flat has been burglared a week ago, i lost everything valuable i had. i am completely devastated by this incident. Moreover, i had no insurance.

I blame my landlord and the building management for this, for inadequate security. The landlord failed to provide extra lock after asking repeatedly.

There is a concierge in the building but complete useless and most of the time not available. the 11 storey building with 3 wings and over 200 flats has only 6 cctv cameras, and that does not cover all exits. The front door has a password entry system, which is great but its the same for all 200 flats, so i guess half the woolwich arsenal knows how to get into the Vista Building.
The back door has no security at all and its opens up to a parking space which is left open most of the day so anyone can get in through there.

The doors on the each flats has a round porthole with frosted glass. And has only one lock on each door which can be opened from inside by turning a knob around.

So the burglar broke the glass, put his arm through it, and unlocked the doorfrom inside. The burglary was a walk in the park with the inadequate security.

I have suffered immense loss and the purpose of this ad is that nobody else suffers like me.

So if you are looking for a flat to stay (buy or rent) and dont care about being burglared, then The Vista building is the place to move in.

Otherwise, STAY AWAY !!!!!!!!

Good luck with your fundraising.
