Crime and .... a mild rebuke?
I noticed at least 25 reported crimes in this weeks edition of the Observer. Ranging in severity from the usual mindless vandalism to multiple deaths in a care home and missing body parts. Plenty for our local heroes, Crime Czars Doug and Sandra, to sink their teeth into, one would think. Plenty of scope for tough decisions, knocking heads together and high impact crime solving, one would think. Loads of opportunities for photo opportunities with our dashing duo catching the crooks red handed and handing them over to the cops, one would think.
Which is what might happen in comic books. But on the mean streets of Hyndburn things are done differently it seems.
Doug Hayes, one half of our crime fighting duo, this week has weighed in against vandals who trashed a wooden fence at Rhyddings Methodist Church. Oooooh! What did he do? I hear you breathlessly ask. Errrrm, well, he made a statement.
" These youngsters are going round looking for trouble and just not learning. The problems continue so I will be checking with the Police about their response. It is really annoying, but good that residents are reporting these crimes."
And that is about it! But doesn't it make you all feel so much better to know that Crime Czar Doug cares so much that he is going to ask the police about their response? And doesn't it prove yet again that Good Old Doug is worth every penny he claims in allowances, even if the council has to borrow to pay them.
