A heart warming New Year tale where the pikies lost!

[gerarddwatts]

That got your attention!

Here in Glenshee we have a very active Whatsapp group...a virtual neighbourhood watch group. We have about 80 folk on it.

About 8.30 pm on the 30th, one of the members...the founder in fact...spotted some miscreants attempting to steal diesel. The fiery cross was sent round via Whatsapp! The busys were summoned! Within minutes the glen was mobilised, the ends and exits were covered, trucks at roadends etc. New tyre tracks in the snow showed where the hoors had been....quite a few places. In Glenshee and Glenisla.

The bobbies spotted the pikies and a contact was made between their vehicle and the rozzers vehicle. The pikies attempted to evade capture by driving through a garden, but were soon caught up with, chased down Glenisla, Kingoldrum eventually to be cornered by several police cars and a 'stinger' in Glamis.

3 detained! 'Travelling criminals' according to the police press release!! The sad reality is that they will probably get more for traffic offences than theft but at least its one for the good guys! If you haven't got one of these Whatsapp groups going....get one. Especially here the members...keepers, farmers etc see all!

Happy New Year!

Proper result

About time it was a criminal offence to trespass as Ireland made it ,thats why they,re all here doing what they please .
It isn't civil at all when they come on your property and help themselves.
Well done all involved

Wish the feds were as keen round here.

Read it in the Courier headlines but it didn’t have access to the full story.
Great result, wish the Neighbourhood Watch all the the best and hope the local Plod gets more results like that.

You should build a Wicker Man and deal with the miscreants yourselves.

My heart is gladdened reading this

Excellent result, and great reaction from the Police, just as well it wasn't down here, as it would have been next week before the plod took action.

My instant thoughts on reading, you could have let them keep the diesel.

 

[Norfolk Horn]

The Tony Martin school of home security is fround upon you know so the wicker man would probably drawn some attention from the officers of the the law.
Mind you if it was hot enough the evidence would be hard to find

Hi
I was suprised, or just naive, that these mobile criminals operated so far up north.

Slight aside, but with us now out of the EU, how do our Irish friends fare. No open borders and all, just a thought.

Think they have an absolute right to come here from before the EU days

 

[FrenchieBoy]

They believe they have an absolute right to go wherever they please. whenever they please and do whatever they please!

UK and Eire are in a 'common travel area', and have been for years. This will continue.

Different system, some agreement from the 1920's I think. Allows them to come here, live here and vote.
