Thieving Scumbags

[DavieSV]

Tonight (thur 14 sept) in eastwood in derbyshire, between 7.30 and 10.00, scumbags nicked my boys yellow & red Piaggio NRG moped, reg FD53 VYC , distinctive paint job, bright yellow jordan front panels and yellow fading in to red side panels,
my boy, at only 16, was playing a football match for Eastwood under 19's, His moped was parked in the car park with chain and lock. he return from the match (I forgot to ask him the score) and where his Ped was there was only atmosphere. I don't konw if any of you ladies and gentlemen come from around the Eastwood area (near MFN) but would be greatfull if everyone could keep an ear to the ground for me and my son.

Cheers
John,

Sorry for your hassle. There are some scumbags around. I'll keep an eye out although I'm not often in that area.

Cheers Keith

The lad they caught on it has been charged with agrevaited twoc (taking without owner consent) and was remanded in custody pending a court apperance,

This kind of disrespectful behaviour is on the up due to the number of young families. It'll take at least another generation to breed the behaviour out again.
