More Crime 29 July, 2007

On Friday a man’s van was broken into and his sat nav stolen on Cavendish Road. Why is it noteworthy? Because sadly it’s an everyday crime in our area. Except that the police know who they are, and where they live and that they are singularly responsible for a great percentage of crime in our area.When the police did finally arrive from Salford precinct they where too late and not particularly interested. What is it going to take them to do for the police to pick them up and lock them away for more than a few days.They committed the crime in front of many people knowing that it would take the police a great deal of time to come, they are laughing in our faces. Until the police wake up to reopening Park lane police station so we can have local and intelligence led policing these hooligans will continue with impunity.We don’t need Police three miles away or councillors that live in Swinton we need police and local Councillors and services for local people, simple I know but effective.
