Well they've been working on this one for 11 month, surely they could have arrested them before now

The raids, which saw over 40 officers storm three addresses in Accrington, Church and Burnley, were part of a major operation to tackle an organised car crime gang suspected of stealing around £60,000 worth of power tools from vehicles in the last 11 months

Like I said it is the new Police year, its a bit like Councillors/candidates trying to make an impact now, just before the elections next month

Might be thinking it's the only crime they'll solve this new police year

It certainly seems that the chances are very good, at least we all know 1 serious gang are off the street in any event, if they did mine, fine, if not, it still prevents others having the same aggro we are having, and that can only be good.

To say all that was removed, they must of been quick for someone not to disturb them

The camera showed my lad going in at 5.40pm, and out at 5.50pm, so yes, pdq, the police are ringing me on saturday morning, at which time I guess we will know what the chances of recovering anything will be. Watch this space!!

I forgot to mention last post, that the pc I spoke to at Lancashire hq (before i spoke to accrington), let slip that one of these jerks had left a lucozade bottle in a vehicle with his fingerprints all over it!

Thats good then, well if it is one of those caught or if they have a criminal record, it all helps

Unfortunately, it also means that it wasnt all down to hard work on behalf of the police, they were handed these people on a plate! Again, still, they did have to check and then round them up I suppose!

Just to update this thread. The police, or pc dealing with our case, did not telephone today as promised, I did however get confirmation from the lad driving our van that a lucozade bottle was removed and fingerprinted from our van, just need the police to confirm it now, and tell us how much of our stuff is going to be available!

The hardest thing for the police to do is actually get them convicted

Bonnyboy · 05-04-2008, 22:07

At lest some form of progress is being made, 'bout all you can say really. The coppers should have rang you to update tho, even if they had no new info

BERNADETTE · 05-04-2008, 22:09
