Two Turnpike burglars have been sent to jail: Flavio Adrade and Paul Barlow. Both have a history of causing trouble on Turnpike Estate and other places. Flavio Adrade in-particular has caused a lot of pain on Turnpike (which I've witnessed) and nothing has ever been done (until now). Flavio has attacked my house and others with snowballs, stones. He's hurt others. The question is; why now? Why weren't they arrested earlier? The police knew about their house breaking (even I knew it and others) and their other antics. The families that suffered by the hands of those kids could have bee spared if the police had acted earlier.
I wonder if the local police actually know what is going on, on their beat. Years ago the local bobby on the beat used to know all the ins-and-outs of the local community; not now it seems. They are more interested in going to local community committees and sit in cosy rooms and chinwag rather than do real policing out in the community. And what have those local Community committees ever done, other than becoming a talking shop for the people of their area?
It says that Flavio Andrade has been sent down for 5 years; he'll be out within 2. Is that justice?
Shame you didn't read the ASBO thread.......
