We’ve just had a mini crimewave round my town. We had a group of travellers pitch up a mile or so out of town, and surprise surprise, cars go missing every night, and quite a few vans got broken into and tools nicked by a gang of 6 masked thugs brandishing baseball bats and machetes threatening anyone that came anywhere near them. Police oddly never turned up, but then we only have a couple of Part time hobby coppers, both female, armed with a taser each, so no surprise they were never gonna rush in. The travellers have moved on and things seem to gone quiet, although I’m still parking my van with its side door tight to my motorhome.
Two of the many vans attacked.
