More Trouble on Kings Avenue

More trouble has been taking place on Kings Avenue, on the St. Helens estate in Brigg. Residents on Kings Avenue are always a victim of some crime, committed by youths in the Kings Avenue playing area. As we reported last week, a disabled wheelchair-bound man was almost killed when a firework was deliberately thrown into his wheelchair. Many people have suffered from break-ins, threatening and abusive behavior, theft, damage to property and verbal abuse - by youths who hide away from the police in the Kings Avenue playing area. Last-night a group of youths had removed a residents gate, and placed it in the middle of the road - then later, emptied residents dustbins all over the footpaths. Our dustbin was also emptied on the footpath, and the road - but my father isn’t able to pick the rubbish back up because of his disability - so we are leaving it. If the police actually did enforce the law - the youths wouldn’t have been causing the trouble. We did not report the incident to the police, because after reporting things to them before, it appears that when you report a crime to the police, your spoiling the fun for these criminals. Many people on Kings Avenue have recently reported that youths have been throwing fireworks up at their homes, and pointing them at their windows.
