Crime Corner

I hear that a number of young people were spotted on the roof of the primary school in the early hours of wednesday morning and an alert local resident phoned the police who reportedly took 45 minutes to arrive. Luckily for the boys and girls in blue the micreants had not legged it and several of them were duly removed from the scene in a police van.

45 minutes does seem a long time to answer a call of this type, if the reports received are correct. I hope that we are not into one of those situations once more, where because the village is generally quiet for a period, it takes a lower priority than some other areas when it comes to issues of crime management.
