Meesh that is awful. Well done for calling the police though hun, alot of people don't feel able to report these things, it's good that you have done so. Otherwise these people feel they can do whatever they like unchallenged.

 

Last year I was in the car with my mum driving, and my aaron in the back. We were driving along to the post office. It was in the middle of the day, people walking along, lots of cars going along in both directions. Most of the cars were slowing down as they were passing this particular corner outside the bakery, the people walking along had stopped and were looking across the road to this corner to. As we got nearer I could see that there was a middle aged woman being attacked by a women in her 20's. She was tring to take the older womans handbag.  I shouted for my mum to stop the car, i got out and ran across the road, grabbed the younger woman, and pulled her off the other woman. It took a couple of minutes to get her to release the womans hair! I held the young womans wrists so she couldn't keep lashing out. A taxi pulled up and the driver called through an open window that he had called the police. All the people that were standing around watching this woman being mugged started to move on their way. The cars that were there started to go to. Even the taxi driver that called the police left as he didn't want to talk to the police.

When the police got there i had a rant about people just wandering by leaving this woman fighting off this mugger in the middle of a street full of people. He just looked and said it happens all the time. He said nobody see's or hears anything.  Turns out this young woman had a rather large knife up the sleeve of her sweatshirt. So it could have been nasty.  

Thats Awful Meesh, I have a gang problem round here, but I am safe as they all know me and leave me alone as I threaten box their ears lol, but its awful when you arnt safe in your own neighbourhood, and the problem is everywhere hun, I watched a lad of 5 spray paint everyones bins and he saw me watching him, he skipped my bin but it was after 11pm, so what was the lill git doing out at that time  Hugs Chez xxx 

Meesh, how did you get on when the police came out for more information?

 

Thanks Fluffa, I didn't know about the knife till i read it in the newspaper the next day.

Sometimes I think the police get just as frustrated though, as they get the run around from youngsters that know the police can't do anything because of certain laws?

 

Yes Jan he still makes the odd comment lol, don't think he'll ever let it go.
