Teen Gangs
 

I sure a few people have been aware for the past few weeks that the TEEN GANGS that have been moved from areas of Spring Hill no seem to be hanging round Exchange st. A few also may have noticed that cars have been vandalised, wing mirrors smashed, repeater covers pinched.
I have caught 1 little scroat on my video cam pinching my repeater cover, if anyone would like the movie or stills from the movie to ID the little s***t then let me know.

We need to stop these little swines before it gets out of hand.

Re: Teen Gangs
 

Tonights been mental up here.

By 8.00pm we had seen half a dozen or so people walking around the lower end of springhill with obvious signs of being in fights.
People smashing bottles all over the place, car radios blaring etc.

Plus one particularly nasty specimen of humanity out of his tree and giving his girlfriend a good kicking on Lonsdale St. At least the police caught that scumbag. :mad:

Markinaccy, please keep your footage of the kid and collect as much as you can. If anything happens in your area, write down the dates and times and descriptions of these kids if you see them. This came in useful for us in the area I live in. We got enough complaints and descriptions together and with the help of our beat officer and community warden had 3 antisocial behaviour orders slapped on these kids. Believe me, our area is now much quieter. My neighbours kids can play out without being bullied and we can put rubbish out on bin day without it being torched and there have been no more properties damaged and set on fire (honestly, it was really bad at one time)

Re: Teen Gangs
 

Don't you think it's crazy that nowadays it's up to us to collect the evidence before action will take place? Why should innocent people have to live with this going on - on their doorsteps for possibly months before the police/courts will do anything.

Re: Teen Gangs
 

Last Night (monday) Someone Scrached My Friends Car, It Is A Black Corsa At The Bottom End Of Exchange St. Any One Know Anything Plerase Let Us Know

Re: Teen Gangs
 

I Urge All People To Get A Camera On Thier Cars, We Need Also To Write To The Steel Works To Build Some Garages On Thier Land, They Will Make A Small Fortune

Re: Teen Gangs
 

It wouldn't go on for months if people reported it.

Any little crime, contact the local Police who will make a record of it. Ask them to pass you the reference number (Usually EQ then a number then the date if in this area). All this information is passed to the Community Beat Manager / Community Wardens / PCSO's who have to deal with it, otherwise they would be in trouble for not dealing with all these problems.

Lettie did the right things and it got sorted.

My mother had a problem like this in Burnley, but she did the same as Lettie and now the problem family have been kicked out of the area.

If people don't pick up the phone and report, how can they know it's happening? Just to let you know also, the Police are not allowed internet access so can't visit this site!

Just report every little thing to the Police control room then it is logged, no mattter how small it may be.

Re: Teen Gangs
 

Just to add to markinaccy's info:

Yes, get a CCTV camera or a video camera. Don't worry about privacy laws! If someone is damaging your health or property, then get them on camera. This helps a lot.

I have a camera on the front of my house watching the car, etc.

Re: Teen Gangs
 

I live in the Peel ward and we've just had the quietest weekend for ages. I believe the police were targeting this area after an increase in break ins and reports of scum causing criminal damage and underage drinking, Netto have a lot to answer for on that topic. Well done Mr Policemen, but I suppose it will be back to normal again this weekend.

Re: Teen Gangs
 

anyone notice the house on corner of springhill road and stevenson stree (dunno which one lol) opposite shop. was being done up and all new windas broke.

Re: Teen Gangs
 

I have done a bit of work on that house over the last few years, And because the local scum know its empty they view it as easy pickings :( and will not leave it alone.. feel sorry for new owners that are trying to do it up :(

Re: Teen Gangs
 

another window went just yesterday i think. the garage collapsed this year due to well being invaded every night.

Re: Teen Gangs
 

yea i past that on my way to ossy mills yesterday, its not fair when people are trying to do houses up, as i went past the shop there was at least 6 youths, 1 with an alsation stood there i felt quite intimidated, as i was going in the shop, iwas walking & i was on my own as i was meeting someone nr ossy mills, i must say the lads were fine but it does make you wonder///

Re: Teen Gangs
 

Did anyone see the article in the telegraph last week about possible trial curfews in the Hyndburn area?

Must say it sounds good on the surface, peaceful nights, but not sure how it would work in the long term.
They haven't decided on age limits or times apparently yet, but I don't see why well behaved kids should be restricted in any way, because of the bad ones. Why don't they just target the ones causing the problems and slap curfews on them?

A little birdy tells me that 2 people were picked up earlier today on Pickup St, one carrying a knife, :eek:
Suppose it'll be in the Telegraph tomorrow.

Re: Teen Gangs

Well maybe if the parents got involved nad were made to pay for the damage summat might just change.Only an observation

Re: Teen Gangs
 

It's probalby the case of the parents dont care, more than likelly too ****ed up to care. Its a shame that the younger generation are getting so 'Yankee' like the street scenes of down town New York etc... they seem to be living their lives as a film.
By thinking they are untouchable, lads walking round like they have two coconuts down their trollies, and socks pulled up with their cheap trackie bottoms tucked in (did not know we had so many bike lovers in Accy !)

They need to be told how to behave, their parents need to get there fingers out and use disaplin and rules and some form of punishment.

I do hope we get police carfues where all teens must be off the streets by 9pm

Re: Teen Gangs
 

There's an article in the Observer about a lady walking with her husband along Pickup Street - and she got mugged. Although was by a white van man - not teen gangs. I was brought up in Springhill and it used to be a safe place.

Re: Teen Gangs
 

The Justice system is too soft nowadays.People picking on the old, frail and innocent should have tougher sentences.Look at that blokes girlfriend a couple of years and she is out at a tremendous cost to the taxpayer over the next years.The bloke who mugged this lady should be left in a room for 15 minutes with her relatives

Re: Teen Gangs
 

This scares me because my sister and her hubbyn live on Exchange St with their two kids. parents should be made to pay for any damages their *little Angels* do and the *little angels* should be punished as well.

Re: Teen Gangs
 

Exactly Angel my thoughts too.by the way did you see the bhoys win the cup?Blue is a bad colour for the Scottish teams at the moment
