Police Wrap - 15 April 2010

I must admit, this doesn’t really surprise me.

I live in that general area and there is a large level of anti-social behaviour that takes place around the scout hall/skate park near to the Holder border. This ranges from underage drinking, to drug use, to vandalism and burglary to burnouts to general abuse to passers by.

Fortunately when I walk in that area I am accompanied by a large dog which seems to act as a deterrent, I have been witness to all of the above.

But that said, the incident in mention could be completely unrelated to my observations.

He was a victim of lacking common sense.

Good on him!

caf: Actually, if it’s the story I heard second-hand (and therefore have absolutely no supporting evidence for beyond “my mate told me…”), the “minor injuries to his hand” were sustained in the act of knocking one of them out cold. Which is why, brave souls that such people are, “they fled the scene”.

Waiting for the “why help police when they give me a fine” replies.

Maybe I’m just cynical, but I tend to read “…had no property stolen” as “…had his weed stolen”.
