I've found out some details of a case of a spree of criminal damage to car windows, etc, that happened late on a Sunday evening last September. I think this was mainly in Ashbourne Grove and Melbourne Grove. Some local residents saw some of it and followed two men who were then arrested by the police. Some of the witnesses later provided statements.


I understand that the case came to court in January and that one man pleaded guilty to eight charges of causing criminal damage and one of using threatening words / behaviour. He was sentenced to twelve weeks imprisonment suspended for twelve months and ordered to do 100 hours unpaid work. I believe that several compensation orders totalling more than ?2,000 were also made against him.


The case against a second man who didn't plead guilty was discontinued.

I am not sure where you obtained your information. Residents did not follow the men, the police did as they had already seen them once and told them to go home before the damage started.


The compensation orders were way in excess of ?2,000 and I don't think he had to do any community service.


It all goes in favour of the criminal and just proves that if you plead not guilty the CPS will most probably drop the charges.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
