Well done Zac, you've got your bases covered, and support from the local police who have given you necessary advice....

The UV5Rs are great little units, I use one for AR and other comms work, and they are easy to programme through 'Chirp'.....

I am saddened at the swinging cuts to police numbers, that have given crime a space to proliferate, and moved citizens to have to take up the chasm of slack.....

John if I didn't know any better, I'd bet you were a Radio 4 listener too as I heard a very similar turn of phrase this morning whilst listening to "Thought for the Day"

If you didn't then you should as it really hit home with me whilst listening this morning and actually gave me a nice little boost on the way to work. It's only a few minutes long. The four dimensions of disorder...........

best of luck with it mate.

Am sure more folks re-taking the streets, even if walking the dog or going long way
to local shop helps remind the scum they don't own them.

Locally we have a facebook group for sharing ASB in our postcode area, a friend in
a nearby village is trying to get his community to get some Baofengs for emergencies
such as flooding and suspect criminal activity too. Might just put it to my neigbours...

Zac mate.............yes I am a R4 listener...

Thank you for that link.....I believe in a 'social conscience', that if you are a responsible member of society and of a community, you should not just 'take', but also input to help.

Hence why in the past I used my seamanship and knowledge as an Auciliary Coastguard, and now, am a member of the area 4x4 Response and Raynet....

Thumbs down More trouble at the inn

More drama last night on our estate but this time we were more than ready for it!!!!

Got a message on our estate-wide WhatsApp group last night of a potentially suspicious vehicle. Details come through of 3 males in a Black Mercedes ML320. I jumped in the car and drove past it not making myself obvious, didn't like the look of them, they looked like pure scumbags.

Called it in on the radio and told everyone on the WhatsApp to be on Standby, parked the car up and me and my neighbour hid from a distance and watched the vehicle. 2 Males left the back of the car and vanished into the darkness towards the building site leaving 1 male with the car. Nervous, we continued to watch until the lad with the car pulled his phone out and then locked the car quickly and started running in the same direction of the other 2 lads towards site, carrying no less than 6 empty 25l drums!!!! At this point I knew it was fuel theft from the building site.

I gave the go and within 5 mins we had 10-15 bodies surrounding the estate from all angles a few mins later we were almost 20 strong!!!

Calls went in to the local Police, me and another pal immobilised the car by loosing the pressure out of the front tyres. With the car secured and bodies with it 12 of us head inside the building site and started to sweep the houses 1 by 1 when we saw 3 bodies in the distance trying to give it legs!!!! They were a good distance away from us and we got into a footchase, they vanished again but at this point we knew the building site well and systematically swept each house relaying info constantly over the radio.

We eventually pinned them down to a group of 5 houses when we heard noises inside. One of the lads then spotted movement in an upstairs window whilst one of our guys had juts pulled a bloke from behind a pallet in the garage of the same house.

We pulled him out and made a citizens arrest WITH handcuffs

The other two didn't come quite as easy, we had to enter the house for them so me and my right hand men that were also equipped with bulletproof vests decided we were going to enter the property and sweep, one lad is ex-SAS and the other ex West Mids Police Firearms so had no hesitations going inside.

Tactical sweep lead to 1 male giving himself up in the from upstairs bedroom and the last lad had to be fished out of the loft!!!!!

All were detained and cuffed until the Police arrived some 50 minutes after being called!!!!! It's this awful response time that had lead to us creating this group in the first place and believe me when I tell you we are sh*t hot!!!!!

3 in custody, siphoning kit and stolen Diesel booked into evidence and the ML320 was recovered

What did the police say about all this?

Nice to see the bad guys getting caught for once though.

They fully support what we do and we knew most of the officers by first name

They are very grateful for what we did and told us that everything we did was within the law so I'm well chuffed.

They were especially impressed with our attempts to immobilise the car

Well done, and echoing comments already made, its crying shame we have to resort to doing what the Police should be doing.

Very well done Zac...excellent team work, but agree with other comments about the local community having to undertake duties that should be done by the police....if you had been in a car they would have found a way to nick you though.....
