Det Con Richard Walker, said: "This was a violent assault on lone female as she made her way home.
“We believe that there were people near to the scene at the time of the offence and I urge anyone with information to contact Southend CID on 101, or via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”Do we get that soothing, reassuring phrase trotted out?
Reader, we don't...
Mr Walker added: "While we are investigating this crime, which is worrying that it was an unprovoked attack on a woman, it would be advisable for people out late at night to try to walk home with another person and to be wary of strangers.”Oo-er!

Nice one Melv!
ReplyDeleteI'm kidding, it was shite as usual.
I think DC Walker will go on media course and be given the book of meaningless stock phrases....anything but the truth in case it upsets someone.

An ACPO spokesperson said "Ideally, the entire nation would be under home curfew from dusk until dawn, that way there would be no incidents on the streets during the hours of darkness, well except us boys in blue arresting people found outdoors and giving spurious excuses like "I was putting the bins out" or "I have to be outdoors at night, I'm on the night shift".
