   Splendid effort - lets see more proactive police work - lets take the fight to the scum - high profile police work in kirkholt will turn the tide - well done GMP.

   The other side to the good work by police is that this is of little value unless the courts impose deterrent sentences. A simple rule which could be understood from an early age would be the three offences and you're locked up approach. Contrary to often reported views, prison is in fact remarkably cheap and good value for money when balanced against the misery and cost to the public and police of constantly apprehending criminals only to have them given community sentences where only a proportion of their continuing offences are likely to be detected.

Numerous cautions and counselling give the green light to bad behaviour.

   Good work lets hope it continues.

One question though?

Why do they keep putting glass back in bus shelters?

DOH!!!
