Moped Muggers (again)

Walking past All Saints School last evening at around 7.30 & Two Mopeds Sped thru the Churchyard ( lucky no one was in front of them)They stopped and with High Intensity Flashlights looked in all the parked Cars in Street.BEWARE do not leave ANYTHING visible inside your Car!!

They used to be active in Felsham Road until the Council installed barriers across the pavement next the road barrier, to inhibit easy use of the pavement - perhaps a solution near All Saints? - just a thought.

Vic, did you ring the Police on 101?  It's a non urgent line as I'm sure you know, and they like to log this information and keep tabs on what's going on.

No I didn’t Bunny, as couldn’t get the Registrations😩

Fair enough, but I think they just like to know from the public what's going on in the local area.  They will log it and keep an eye out if there are other similar incidents, it helps them to build up a picture.

Bunny, the easiest solution is that people do not leave visible items In their Vehicles!The little Tossers would soon disappear!We can’t depend on the Police Force (sorry Service)

Vic, I agree!  Best not to leave anything in view in vehicles.However, my point was that ringing 101 will not bring the Police out to attend, but it will give them useful information.  The UK is pretty unique in our "Policing by consent" attitude and our cooperation is so important.https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/policing-by-consent/definition-of-policing-by-consent
