About friggin time what about the phone snatchers in marylebone high st area still not caught mine just shows aint it???
when it affects the rich the met does something about it
Then what? a mild ticking off and away you go to do more of the same??!!
Well done!
Everyone's saying "Immigrants immigtants immigrants!", and yet no-one has mentioned that by far the biggest factor influencing crime rates is POVERTY. You don't see rich people mugging people on the street, because they don't need to. Immigrants do this more BECAUSE they are more likely to be poor. No immigration measure is going to stop poor, desperate people from doing things like this, reduction of poverty will.
Bet they were imagrants
wish i could tell the time
Stereotypes strike again..
The Guardian champions the importation of the people disproportionately committing these crimes.
Nice of Guardian to warn everyone 👍
They should arrest SADIQ KHAN he steals from people EVERY SINGLE DAY
Surely Im not the only viewer that can seethe thieves aren't of UK heritage! London the city where ethnic diversity doesn't work!!🤯
Excellent 👌
They have to do something about this black crime. It’s getting out of hand.
What have you got to say about this liberal Marxists.
When the judiciary has swallowed the Marxist causes of crime what sentences can we expect?
Well done, finally something is done.Also we need to deal with retail shoplifting, it's causing a big damage
Doctors, engineers, architects
I thought this was a wind up at first, but yeah, heroes of the hour. These watches, are we sure they're not second hand? Will they get their just deserved? Only time will tell
Why is the Guardian reporting this? A champagne lefty been robbed? But wait….
6 months in His Majesty’s Palace?
Funny how we can't comment on the picture of the 20 black blokes
Clearly racist 😂😂
I would send it as a donation to work in North Korea.😊
why is this news? its like traditional policing is ground breaking now
Finally some proper police work.
In California the thief will become a hero , the under cover cop will go to jail and get stab in jail..
According to The Guardian, All offenders are Tory MP’s. It was some sort of Bullingdon club initiation. Wait till Ian Hislop hears about this.
Well done police ✌🏻
