There has been fly-tipping at the bottom of Foxhill Bank (turn off Union Road where the Bank / Royal Pub use to be), for the last 15 years or more that I am aware of. The police, the council and just about everybody else has tried to stop it...all without success.

3 years ago I witnessed a Gypo's van offloading and then torching what looked like an old roof from a wooden garage. I chased after the van and even took it's number, then phoned our men in blue only to be told that they would look into it (fat chance). I went back to the now blazing timber wreck, only to hear the dying cry's of a dog that had been tied-up inside the structure before it had been (purposly) set alight. I and my friend couldn't get near enough to try and drag the dog out of the inferno. So the poor animal died in agony...burnt alive!

I phoned the police again...but they said they were too busy to attend the scene. So I phoned up the RSPCA...to their honour...they came in about 15 minutes. By this time the blaze was only smoldering, but the burnt corpse of the dog was visible.

I left in disgused after giving my details to the RSPCA guy. Several weeks later I received a call from the Accy Police asking if I could confirm the vehicle number, which I did. I asked if they had got the culprits, and they told me that a "Traveller" had reported his vehicle stolen 10 minutes after I rang the Police. So they had not charged anybody. I told Mr. Plod that I maybe able to identify a couple of the culprits. He said that as I lived in Germany he didn't think it would be cost effective to bring me over to Accy to identify a dog killer.

So much for justice!!!

CRIME CZARS........more like jobs for the boys!!!
