Thugs Smash Police Car Wing Mirror While Officers Tackle Emergency
Police officers from the Response and Patrol team were busy handling a 999 emergency call nearby when three youths decided to kick off the wing mirror of a police vehicle. Seriously?
Suspects Flee as Police Close In
Hampshire Constabulary’s Southampton West Neighbourhood Team arrived quickly to back up the officers at the scene. They spotted three teens matching the description in Mansel Park. Two took off on bikes towards Lower Brownhill Road, leaving one cornered in the park.
The stopped youth denied any involvement. But with two runners and suspicious behaviour, officers remain unconvinced. Police are now scouring CCTV and seeking witnesses. If they find proof, that doorbell’s gonna get another ring.
Damage to Police Vehicle Causes Delays and Extra Paperwork
The damage may seem minor, but it means one police car is out of action for repairs. The two officers inside had to swap vehicles before responding to the next emergency. Plus, extra paperwork piles up – all thanks to reckless vandalism.
Police Seek Three Teen Males – Need Your Help!
Clear message from the cops: this sort of behaviour won’t be tolerated. They want to meet these lads and sort out their attitude. The suspects are males aged 15 to 17. Two wore black tracksuits; the third wore grey. Two were riding bikes.
If you have info, call in referencing #1754 of 03/07/2022. Remember, there are better ways to complain than smashing police property!
