HappyHours   10 #1 Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) I thought I'd have seen a thread on here about this by now but if your in the Wisewood/Hillsborough area please take care especially at night!! I'm guessing South Yorkshire Police will already know about this problem but last night a few muggins were reported. One Girl said Her and Two friends were mugged last night on the Social Media website Twitter HERE, and also I unfortunately last night unknowingly witnessed a mugging outside a house near Leppings Lane Hillsborough, in which I thought it was three lads just messing around (Tends to happen alot around this area when people walk home in the early hours Saturday/Sunday morning) - turns out it was two males (both dressed fully in black face mostly covered) holding one other male at knife point whilst they took all his belongings!  PLEASE PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND REPORT ANYTHING YOU SEE!! I REGRET NOT DOING ANYTHING AND NOW FEEL VERY VERY BAD AND ON EDGE AROUND THESE AREAS!!

joanne5600 Â Â 10 #2 Posted February 2, 2014 Don't feel bad but have you rang the police as they may still be able to use the information ..there are cctv cameras around there they might be able to look at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Vaati   11 #4 Posted February 2, 2014 There have been muggings by black clad people before near the Middlewood tram stop further up (sure there was a thread on here about that one). Could be related as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Dan_Ashcroft   10 #5 Posted February 2, 2014 This periodically happens within touching distance of Winn Gardens.  I'm sure the police know exactly who it is.  The same handful of families have been causing problems there since they got moved there from Kelvin.

bazjea   10 #6 Posted February 2, 2014 This periodically happens within touching distance of Winn Gardens.  I'm sure the police know exactly who it is.  The same handful of families have been causing problems there since they got moved there from Kelvin.  As the Kelvin flats were demolished about 19 years ago. And if, as you say the police are aware who these people are.They .are certainly taking their time making any arrests. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Badlittlepup   10 #7 Posted February 2, 2014 As the Kelvin flats were demolished about 19 years ago. And if, as you say the police are aware who these people are.They .are certainly taking their time making any arrests.  Considering that little *beep* who murdered the guy at Middlewood tram stop and lived in Winn Gardens was left roaming the streets when everyone knew who he was and what he was doing why does this surprise you?

A bit like the Gallaghers from Shameless, only more sinister.  I suspect this latest episode coincides with one of them having recently been released from Her Majesty's pleasure.

Vaati   11 #11 Posted February 3, 2014 There was a police van parked near the shop (just up from the Middlewood tram stop) at 2pm. Wonder if it was related? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
