sheffsal Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 well guys - last night at 8.30 the little sods were back pounding the properties again with snowballs, i turned off all my lights and rang 101 linked it up to the previous nights incident and they said - we will get some one out to you!!! when I asked? sometime during tonight - guess what am now sat at work and nope no one came. The attack went on for 40 mins and in this time my neighbour shouted at them to pack it in and to move on - they youths responded with verbal, derogerative comments and threatening to kick in the doors!!!! My neighbour rang me during this incident to see if i was ok, she had also rang 101 and had said if they didnt get some one out her and her boyfriend was going to take matters in to their own hands to which the reply was - yes you guessed it - you could be arrested if you do anything. So from what I can gather - it is alright to intimidate and threaten people in their own homes but you cannot threaten or intimidate youths in the street!!!! Any how watch this space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any how watch this space Thats absolutely dreadful. As soon as they started shouting at your neighbour i'd have called 999. It's probably worth seeing if you can film them doing it, then you have some evidence. Keep a log of each time you phone 101 with no response to show them when they eventually make time to see you. If it happens again, do whatever feels right - if thats a 999 call, im sure 99% of people on here would probably agree your doing the right thing.

HappiDayz Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 We gave you advice on calling 999 if you were that frightened didn't we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp87 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 where is this? normally i find people complaining on here pretty dramatic and boring, but that sounds terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnie41 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Riong 2202020 and ask for the local policing team for your area - speak to them direct. You will be able to speak to someone who works your area. That's the type of job PCSO's should be coming to see you for. Give that a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Vader Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 This is disgusting. I'm afraid as soon as the authorities hear the word "snowball", they thnk they can ignore the complaint and no one will kick up a fuss. Where as the truth is, you might as well be getting rocks hurled at you when they are getting compacted snow and ice and hurling it at you and your windows. At the end of the day, it's not about a bit of fun between kids, it's assault, threatening behaviour and victimisation. We seem to have forgotten so quickly about the woman who took her own life and her daughter's earlier this year, due to such behaviour and being let down by the authorities.

chrisphysics Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Kids throwing snowballs on the manor isnt going to be very high on their list of jobs though. They will be busy dealing with crime and domestic violence incidents first I would imagine. I'm sure someone receiving physical abuse from their partner would expect the police to place their matter above attending yet another snowballing incident. I disagree, this is a crime and is just as important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnie41 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Isn't it obvious - and has been said so many times before - only so many Police and far too many demands. Previous posters are right - its all about priorities at the time. Not everyone can get an officer to every job any more - fact! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp87 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 strange how trained gavvers are literally queuing up to get a job, but there aren't any out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
