The Pratt has come up with a rip-snorting police horror story:
Upon calling 131 444 to report the crime in progress, the caller was apparently informed that police were unable to respond due to a lack of manpower. The caller was advised that anything destroyed outside would be covered by insurance, and that the caller could perhaps ring back if the youths did in fact gain entry to the premises and threaten the caller directly.
Is there anyone who doesn’t think more police should be a higher priority than another botanic garden?
