Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

Last night, at approx 22.50 a resident of Christ church square was caught with screw driver in hand letting down the rear tyre of my car parked outside no3. This is the partner of one of our "pillars of society, good Christian, woodnook RA member, alleged personal friend of cllr Dobson & ex Mayor cllr Barton, etc, etc, etc."
How convenient that when we knocked on their door living room light was on but no one to be seen or answering door ! Until they thought we'd gone & appeared at side door, proceeded to lie and try to act innocent. Well u were caught in the act and had sister not had nephew in hands would've been filmed in the act too. Thank god footy over ran & she'd forgot her keys and had to come back to my house for them.
Police have been called
August bank holiday bout 3 hrs ago I dared to park on the square in the "residents carpark"'(is public highway). My front tyre (brand new) was slashed. Police told me another person who'd dared to do same few weeks previous had all tyres slashed (expensive BMW ones).
Think it's a bit obvious now who the criminal responsible was!

I hope the police cat on it ,that is if they can find the time to bother.

update - at 04.50am said, alleged criminal was knocking on my door. reported it to police around 08.30 and was told to ring 999 if they came back. well they did at around 9am. so police called again as instructed.
2 very nice officers turned up. gave them briefing on goings on, so they went to see what criminal had to say. Police came back amazed, in 30+ years experience between them, have never known anything like it - they were sat there nearly in tears, saying they;d been waiting for police to turn up.
anyway they've been given harrassment warning and asked me to get tyre checked as no damage apparent. despite me saying it was flat as. went to get tyre checked and it's been punctured through side wall, so irrepairable, meaning new tyre = criminal damage confirmed.
the person apparently hadnt recalled me speaking (ranting actually) at them last night, or anything else, didint know what they'd done or why but knew they'd done something, would pay for any damage, apologised for what they'd done and didnt know what time it was this morning at 04.50 and hadnt harrassed me.
umm - hammering on door, damaging vehicle - gives a bit of a clue.
so he got a piece of my mind with the police as witnesses, told by me to keep away, etc.
Long live the village idiot, we've all got one !!!!!!! Couldnt lie straight in bed !

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

i must say i couldnt fault the police at all. they were excellent

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

Absolute disgrace .... what a mean act !!!

Presume they have a car ? (No, I didn't actually type that, did I ?) :eek:

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

Kate, you only posted exactly what I thought...what goes around comes around.......and yet, who wants to descend to their level?
I would rather do a good turn than a bad one.
Karma(the celestial sort) to the perpetrators.

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

I know, Margaret ... was only joking. Sure Dusty Mears felt like it at some stage though ... but won't ... that's what sets us apart from this vindictive couple.

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

Spot on Kate.

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

Name them, this vindictive pair. Name them and shame them I say.

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

yes they do have a car but actually i wanted the criminal arrested and name/shame in paper. they're a couple of sanctamonious, hypocritical, supercillious, nominals (less than worthless).
anyway, getting an harrasment order and giving piece of my mind in front of the police, watching him squirm and beg not to be arrrested, gave me some satisfaction.
as does knowing the whole neighbourhood is aware of it - named and shamed publically - the flyer told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

would love to Jim but then the posting would be taken down and that'd be counter productive ! the whole neighbourhood knows who they are ! That's enough and it dont take Poirott to work out who, there's only a few houses on the square !

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

Was'nt that 3 years ago, and didn't somebody loosen the wheel nuts on your car on another occassion.
Retlaw.

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

do you know the owner of the BMW that was dammaged or who they were visiting it may be worth letting him or her know who was resposible

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

Their supposed upstandingness only exists in their own heads, & those who have been conned into thinking they are upstanding. Some of us have known them for a good number of years, & know them for what they are.
No body has seen her highness since this lot started.

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

A quick google search shows he is a company director - which company?

(I ask to see whether a boycott of his goods/services would be feasible)

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

Don't know Margaret, just put the number in off a web search into companies house which said no. not recognised, put his name in the search & no result, I think he used to be a builder years ago, so whether its to do with that, or another person with the same name I don't know. This idiot is in his 60's.

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

Another member here has PM'd me with more info from the internet.
It appears that he resigned his directorship last year.


..so was possiby a tax dodge directorship

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

That would make sense, just remb they own at least one house they rent out too.

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

I wonder whether he declares rental income for tax purposes ;)

Report tax evasion : Directgov - Do it online

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

Very doubtful they do, thanks for the link, i shall fill it in now

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

Exactly.

Someone could have been killed, through this premeditated, malicious act.

I hope it does make the papers.

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

Anymore naming and shaming on here and the thread will be deleted
there are laws about this and we have to stick to them now the servers are in this country .

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

Was off line yesterday - dead battery. the bmw owner was actually a fellow neighbour ! they've since got rid of vehicle and dont park on the 5 bay carpark on the square - woh betide anyone who dares, unless you've had permission from the carpark attendants!!! !

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

Thanks Mick
I specifically told some one to keep out of this and they must not name names. not only for the reason you point out which is blatently obvious but also not to give the criminal any publicity and an element of they know that we all know psychology (spelt wrong but no spell check) !

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

you know Garinda, that never even entered my head - bit blonde at times. umm, goes from criminal damage to attempted murder/manslaughter !!!! good job i was off work on monday, my partner changed the tyre for me before he set off for work early hours (not that i cant change a tyre he was being gentlemanly). the puncture hole was very small and not slash as police & me where looking for.

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

they own two which they rent and their own = 3

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

That's not a crime, so do I.

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

I owned a house my son lived in for several years.
I paid tax on the income - many small landlords conveniently claim ignorance of the rules.

They won't be getting away with it for much longer.

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

Fine, Margaret, I pay my tax too. But to assume that the persons mentioned in this thread do not do so just because of what else they may be guilty of is going a bit far I think.

Just to make it clear, I have no axe to grind, I don't know or know anything of anyone involved in this affair.

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

actually you spelt it correctly ;)

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

Oi Rob thought I was the police person on Accyweb. :p;):rolleyes: Well spotted!

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

Being nosey, I went on Google street view, to have a shufty.

There are five parking bays in the square, one of which is marked disabled.

There are no signs saying those spaces are for residents only.

Nor has the person who lives nearby, who's disabled, a preferential right to park there. Any disabled person is lawfully entitled to park there. As long as they display a relevant disabled parking permit.

Anyone has the lawful right to park on any public highway, as long as they adhere to parking regulations.

No one has any legal right to park outside their house, if that house is in a public street.

Perhaps those who go about causing criminal damage should sod off, and go and buy a house with a private drive.

Either that, or stay, and get electronically tagged.

In which case they might consider buying a hoodie, and risk getting a nice big hug from David Cameron, the next time he's visiting the area.

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

The next time he visits the area:eek: must have missed him last time, never popped in for a brew and he knows where I live he keeps sending me begging letters:rolleyes:

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

The one with the disabled bay is used to park the tyre slashers car he dosn't drive & she's not disabled.
As for 5 bays, there are only 3 houses facing that bay, the car that had its tyre done was not parked in any of those bays, but at the top of Timber St, where it meets up with Hill St.

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

If it is a Motability car then the disabled person can nominate another person to drive it - they don't even have to be in the car. That was the ruling when I did a short term job in that particular section of DHSS.
If it is just a Blue Badge then it can only be parked in a disabled parking slot to drop off/pick up the disabled person.

Re: Christ Church, Accrington - Criminal Caught in the Act
 

Ya Barrie if your using a blue badge the disabled person has to be out of the car, or the badge is being used illegally
