Last night, early evening, there were about five police vans with their lights on blocking Oglander Road and Oxenford Street. Does anyone know what was going on? Maybe I should post this somewhere else.
It doesn't help that, on the night in question if I've understood it right, a lot of children and young people were parading the streets in masks and costumes. It seems sadly almost inevitable that some scrotes would take advantage of that.
There is a spate of kid-on-kid robberies this time of year every year. It's as regular as the clocks changing or the leaves falling. Usually it's after school as kids are walking home. Often it's same little group of robbers that keep going until they (almost inevitably) get arrested. Very unpleasant for the victim.
It should always be reported to police. I'm always happy to criticise the Met - but my impression is that the Community Safety Teams (beat cops) have always been very responsive to this kind of issue. It is worth speaking to them as well as just 999/101.
