LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir,
I am writing to protest the lack of police response to the repeated incidents of vandalism and petty theft which has been plaguing Froghill.
Indeed, the publicity given to these recent bouts of antisocial behaviour seems only to have emboldened the culprits.
Last Sunday morning, my wife and I awoke to find that our own street had been targeted. Dustbins had been overturned, with rubbish strewn everywhere. Home accessories had been dislodged and thrown around willy-nilly. It was hardly possible to cross the road without tripping over a broken carriage lamp or a distressed garden gnome.
To add insult to injury, my two nearest neighbours had their knockers removed. How this was achieved without waking anyone, I cannot begin to imagine.
Worst of all, these yobs painted out the letters ‘D E N N’ from the middle of our street name, thereby rendering our addresses obscene.
Why should decent, law-abiding taxpayers have to suffer this kind of harassment? Why should we be reduced to writing to the local newspaper express our frustration?
I repeat: where are the police?
Yours exasperated,
Gordon Bennett
Pendennis Rise,
Froghill
The Editor replies:
Several readers have contacted the Observer reporting a similar experience. You can rest assured that we will be investigating in the very near future.
