Police appeal for witnesses after three more violent attacks
POLICE were today seeking more people responsible for attacks on North East Lincolnshire residents.

“off-topic but last year a gang of yoovs were regularly breaking in the empty house next door to me, using it as a drugs den. i called the old bill, reported it, they said has a crime been committed? nobody came. few days later i saw the little B's and warned them off myself. 3 hours later i got my window put in by a breezeblock and my bike nicked. called the old bill, 2am, and told them what had happened, even told them they were still next door and available for immediate arrest. nobody came. at 5pm the next day, they were still hanging round as a 22 yr old cute blonde community support officer came to rapidly respond to my complaint. i told and showed her exactly who the kids were, she said 'ok ill have a word with them'. i watched as she approched them gingerly, they all laughed at her, told her to 'F-off' and rode away on their push bikes. she kind of shrugged her shoulders at me. i closed my curtains. it's totally up to you citizenry of grimsby, totally up to you at the end of the day.”

“Over here by now those scrotes would have been shot either by a law abiding member of the public or the cops.
Or both.
Either way a few of those results and the morons stop attacking people. Not so brave when they might end up on the wrong end of a bullet.”

“Anth,
I was taking the mick out of the jumped up pen pusher who is always telling us crime is down etc, etc...
I saw he commented recently on a positive article for his force. Wonder if he will come on here on this topic?
Wont hold my breath...”
