We observed the afterglow of the peculiar GRB 121027A (Starling et al. 2012, 
GCN 13911; Levan et al. 2012, GCN 13920; Evans et al. 2012, GCN 13921) with 
LABOCA/APEX at 870 micron. The observations in photometry mode started on 
Oct. 31, 7:57 UT, 4.02 days after the Swift trigger (Evans et al. 2012, 
GCN 13906, Barthelmy  et al. 2012, GCN 13910). They were performed under 
good weather conditions (pwv ~ 1 mm), and lasted for 1 hr.

No source is detected, down to a 3 sigma upper limit of 21 mJy/beam.
