Some weeks ago I commented on a similar incident at the estate...Some other commentator responded with quite an inappropriate and somewhat sarcastic reply stating only x amount in the quoted period. This around 4 serious incidents of this nature in the last 8 months at this estate. It is time now for this to cease in this Borough & Area...

Unfortunately, we live in a time where a pizza can arrive quicker than the police. It's no wonder that the general public have lost all confidence in the police. It's the reason so many crimes are being commited, these scum simply know they will get away with it. Even of they are caught they will only get a slap on the wrist by the weak magistrates who can't be bothered & would rather be at home reading the guardian.
