Awful ð¯ there was some youths on bikes causing hassle repetedly I think new ears wick. Long shot but they were willing to cause injury to drivers by perposly pulling out infront of the cars. i know theres a lot of idiots atm on bikes but they had pics, hope she’s ok hope they find the monsters xxx
At almost the same time 2 years ago a teenage girl passing our showroom narrowly missed serious injury in similar circumstances. The force from the gun shattered our glass window and despite handing over cctv footage of the vehicle car the gun appeared to be fired from and the item that was discharged from the gun the police felt unable to do anything. Speedy recovery to the lady injured, terribly sad for her and her family.
We hope the poor lady recovers and the 2 cyclists are caught!
How is anybody supposed to identify anyone in that??!
Disgraceful!!!!
really useful cctv footage that…..
Someone will know them, and if it’s all they have, then it’s useful.
