I understand that someone else (young female) was mugged at the weekend by two blokes outside a kebab shop in Bart St. Allegedly, one of the blokes has recently been 'inside'.


Careful; he has Human Rights. Maybe your tone should be more sympathetic. Not to the attacked of course, they have no Human rights and the real victim is/was the mugger. wink.gif


PS Maybe we could do a collection on this forum for two muggers? I presume they've had a deprived childhood while the one who was mugged had a more prefect existence. Let us now pray or is that prey?

Another robbery at knifepoint. You have to feel sorry for the mugger. Poor chap. I expect he had a deprived childhood. dry.gif

Chief Inspector Judith Johnson said the latest crime figures show that between April 1 and August 31 this year, robbery of personal property and the number of assaults have both decreased this year

If this is indeed the case, how come we have suddenly seen reports of a spate of violent crimes over the last couple of months?

How do we know that anything we hear from officialdom and anything we read in the papers is fact.
Figures and stories are manipulated to produce the result that the authors want you to see.
The well known "spin" factor.
Saying that though it does look like the rate of violent robbery is on the increase in Newbury as all of the stories are substanciated.
Her figures may reflect possible crimes that have not got into the press hence her enthusiasm.

Interesting that the alleged incident outside the kebab shops at the weekend hasn't been reported. I understand that the alleged victim reported it to the old bill.

Latest knife robbery confirms they have no fear let alone respect of law.
Saw in latest incident, after robbing victim, he then banged rear screen of car, victim was "escaping" in.

"Well sorry officer I'd say, I accidentally reversed over him....twice".

We need the Guardian Angels..remember them.

On the crime report, there is a box for no press. It ticked, none of the details are released.

Exactly. I am already starting to cry when I think about it. As for the mugged; do she try to defend herself? If so the mugger might be able to get some compensation.

The offender then walked off with the victims’ mobile phone and cash.
Meanwhile the victim got into a green car and drove away up Boundary Road - but when after a short distance the vehicle stopped, the offender banged on the rear screen of their car.


Is it just me or does that sound really strange. I get the feeling there's more to this than meets the eye.

The figure was taken from 'latest figures' i.e. last year. A lot of the violent crimes have been committed in 2010.

I thought it odd too, but put it down to bad reporting.
