I drove past the BP garage at the bottom of Moonshine Lane at 7:15am. It was cordoned off and a police car was guarding the Herries Road entrance to it.
Anyone know anything?

View Full Version : Moonshine Lane BP Garage Cordoned Off by Cops spartacus 03-09-2005, 08:15 I drove past the BP garage at the bottom of Moonshine Lane at 7:15am. It was cordoned off and a police car was guarding the Herries Road entrance to it. Anyone know anything? roger 03-09-2005, 08:56 anymore on this yet there seems to be loads happening around there lately:confused: saxon51 03-09-2005, 10:44 Probably be another motorist complained about being robbed at the till.:) foxy027 03-09-2005, 10:57 There was a reported child abduction from the phone box opp. the water works on Moonshine Lane....but I've not heard anything else about it since so I think it was just a precaution to close off the road to preserve forensic evidence. spartacus 03-09-2005, 11:43 No. This was this morning. And it was the BP garage only that was cordoned off and being guarded. The garage has been robbed on numerous occasions in the past and what with the recent firearms incidents in the vicinity... wiseman 03-09-2005, 12:53 any more info yet:confused: davidr01 03-09-2005, 13:30 apparently there has been another attempted abduction. The mrs has just spoken to her friend who is a member of staff there and was started work this morning just after this happened. Hopefully this is another false alarm like the one a few days ago. It happened on the forecourt of the garage, and if i know of any further developments i shall post them. trainwalker 03-09-2005, 15:54 i am never surprised when i hear of incidents in that part of town. the longley/ southey/shirecliffe areas are truly awful. shootings, muggings, drugs and violence are just a part of life. saxon51 03-09-2005, 16:01 Please show your sources for this. march 03-09-2005, 16:21 Originally posted by trainwalker i am never surprised when i hear of incidents in that part of town. the longley/ southey/shirecliffe areas are truly awful. shootings, muggings, drugs and violence are just a part of life. Which of those 3 do you live in? saxon51 03-09-2005, 16:41 I live in Longley..or were you asking trainwalker? Angel01 03-09-2005, 16:46 This isn't true at all. It was a banner around the garage so you couldn't go in. It didn't say police on the banner it was that sign of the biological logo thing. It would be something to do with the petrol or gas. bellis 03-09-2005, 17:43 Originally posted by trainwalker i am never surprised when i hear of incidents in that part of town. the longley/ southey/shirecliffe areas are truly awful. shootings, muggings, drugs and violence are just a part of life. well i live in that area and apart from the odd incident it seems pretty safe to me , have you any evidence to back this up or are you just a snob madowl 03-09-2005, 17:52 Originally posted by trainwalker longley/ southey/shirecliffe areas are truly awful..

Angel01 03-09-2005, 17:56 I have lived in S5 for 3 years and I have never seen any bit of trouble. There has never been any police cars , no teenagers causing trouble no noise. I feel completley safe here. Internetowl 03-09-2005, 18:39 Longley Massiv here in full effect....da area is da bomb!

Easily a couple of pence a litre more expensive than anywhere else I've seen in North / Central Sheffield :mad: pitsmoorboy 03-09-2005, 18:52 I lived up Southey some years ago, and brought my kids up there, it was brilliant. Great neighbour's and freinds. spiffymonkey 03-09-2005, 19:13 Originally posted by Angel01 I have lived in S5 for 3 years and I have never seen any bit of trouble.

I've lived in S5 for two years, and had 2 cars nicked and 2 (different) cars broken into/smashed. I've also had my rabbit and hutch stolen. I do feel rather victimised, to be honest, because my neighbours don't see any bother at all ... march 03-09-2005, 20:14 Originally posted by saxon51 I live in Longley..or were you asking trainwalker? Yes I was asking trainwalker. I assumed with their insightful comment they must be a resident of one of the areas mentioned. Wondered which one.

Maybe you annoyed them when you was driving or something but that is far to much of a coincidence to me. Like I said, I have had no trouble and niether of any of my neigbours. fayel 03-09-2005, 21:36 iv lived on the cross for nearly 3 years now i really liked it on here up untill a few weeks ago when something bad happened on my road... that just freeked me out now all this other **** is happening.... im scared to leave my house at night. roger 03-09-2005, 22:52 well i live on the cross and although at the moment there are a few youths generally acting up and causing problems in general its not really that bad people still watch out for each other and other than the young cretins its fairly quiet Angel01 03-09-2005, 23:24 Where is the cross? roger 04-09-2005, 08:18 parson cross /sheffield 5 spiffymonkey 04-09-2005, 11:39 Originally posted by Angel01 Maybe you annoyed them when you was driving or something but that is far to much of a coincidence to me. To be honest I think it's more the opportunity. It seems the previous owners liked privacy and have enormous hedges around the garden and driveway. Combined with the fact that our garden has 2 exits on 2 different roads (it's an end terrace) they can basically hide from view while carrying out their nefarious deeds. I'm sorting it out, but it's ridiculously expensive to get hedges removed ... roger 04-09-2005, 14:29 if its privet dig round the roots then hook up a tow rope to a car then away you go Strix 05-09-2005, 00:35 *cough* any news on the garage incident then? :suspect: spiffymonkey 05-09-2005, 07:45 Originally posted by Strix *cough* any news on the garage incident then? :suspect: Nah, Moonshine Lane garage has it's own definition of opening hours anyway ... and appropriate petrol prices (*peeve*). It's handy to have the cash machine, though. Might try the tow rope vs. privet thing, though ... Foxprom 09-09-2005, 07:47 http://www.southyorks.police.uk/news/details.php?id=1505 could be this spartacus 10-09-2005, 08:32 Thanks, Foxprom, for clearing up the riddle of why the cops had cordoned off the BP garage at the Shirecliffe end of Moonshine Lane. It turns out that DavidR01's report of an attempted abduction was the most accurate. In truth, it was probably no more sinister than some drunken guys arguing and falling out and then stopping their car to calm and/or settle it. They then would have driven off again and are probably oblivious to all the fuss they have caused. Such things happen all the time and always have done. On the other hand... That some local resident has seen it through the window and phoned the law tells me that the nerves of some of those who live near the BP garage are being strung out by local anti-social issues, especially the reported gun crimes. It is this detrimental effect of anti-social behaviour on communities that interests me. That and the reasons why society (we) allows it to happen. |
