Abingdon Town Centre shops have had a spate of broken windows over the last few weeks. The vandalism looks random but keeps happening. Each time it is a big cost to businesses even after insurance.
Work has also begun renovating the charity shop in Bath Street destroyed by fire a couple of years ago.
Indeed it is a cost to business- the ridiculous thing about this is police know who the culprit is, he’s been captured on cctv and caught in the act, he’s been arrested and sectioned but released on his promise of never again sir, but three days later he broke another window!
To my knowledge that’s 8 windows he’s smashed and he’s still walking around town spitting and swearing at women, the same guy apparently went into the Londis Shop and racially abused staff there, and still he’s walking around!
This is another Poundland waiting to happen!
After 11 years of complacency, we had a bicycle stolen off the drive on Caldecott Rd yesterday. Be careful everybody…there’s a lot of scum out there that needs a cuddle.
The man definitely needs locking up, for his own safety as well as that of the town’s shop windows.
Hope the ‘charity’ that used to occupy that shop come back to haunt it.
Oops! I meant *doesn’t* come back to haunt it.
Another window broken, Belinda’s Jewellery Box in West Saint Helens this time. Same bloke. Same lack of justice for business owners.
