Eton Shop Ram Raid 30/08/2017

All fishy. Why not instal anti ram bollards after first unless you didn't mind it happening again

You'd have the thought the insurance company would have stipulated ram bollards after last time.

That's it, normal it's standard they now recommend them after such a incident

Well they’ve caught him...

You watch him walk away with a conditional discharge.

Gavin Bennett has quite a history if you look him up, you would think he would have a police car stationed outside his house by now.

Well they’ve caught him...

If he was operating alone, I'm curious about the three times he apparently stole two cars from the same address!

Looks like they've put concrete blocks outside to stop the ram raids. Which is a bit of a shame, as it's kinda unsightly. Wonder if it'll work? http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/concrete-blocks-placed-outside-sheffield-city-centre-shop-to-prevent-ram-raids-1-8845071

That's ridiculous. If they want concrete barriers they should be behind the glass!

The council must be crackers.

If they want to do a ram raid next time, they'd better turn up with a Challenger tank.

If he got a record merely one third of that in the US under their three strikes and out, this useless parasite would spend his remaining days locked up in a State penitentiary, and sample the delights of rock-breaking.

What if someone walks into them in the dark? Maybe they'll get pinched too?

The ugly concrete blocks look like a temporary solution to me.
